Q: 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. I think it has something to do with a program called Xvid... which is divX backwards... i did install divX yesturday... I have also tried going to control panel and deleting anything called Xvid from installled programs but it wasnt there... i have noticed that this error message only comes up when i go into 'my videos' folder
A: 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.
