Running Vista Home Premium on a new Compaq Presarion laptop.
Any ideas what COM Surrogate is and why it stops working? Everything continues to function fine on the computer, I am just frequently getting that message.
Cheers. |

If you've been getting the error COM Surrogate has stopped working whenever you browse folders containing video or media files, you have come to a good place for some possible solutions. This problem is caused because of codecs and other COM components installed by various softwares that aren't fully Vista-compatible, like some versions of DivX or Nero.
