This is caused by a bug in a dll that MS Explorer loads when you ask for compiled help (which, as I understand, uses MS Explorer). The warning from R is to warn you that there's a buggy dll, but R is correcting it.
Seem to recall that someone mentioned that upgrading Explorer eliminated the problem.
