What does "COM Surrogate has stopped working" Mean?

Question

I keep getting this error on my brand new dell computer with Vista. The warning says "COM Surrogate has stopped working" - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. I have clicked close program but it keeps happening. Usually when im in my videos folder... is there anything i can do to get rid of this, its been happening for 48 hours now.

Answer 1

i was facing this same problem until today morning. all i did is install http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/.

I hope this works for you as well.
