| 572610 | 2007-07-25 08:17:00 | recently i installed windows vista 32bit on my laptop. it was fine for the first few days then the problem comes, one of them is particularly annoying. the problem is, some times when i double click on "my computer", a message box pops up and tells me that "COM Surrogate" has stopped working and blar blar blar.........:angry. then i click "close" to close the program, but it seems to me that nothing was closed . if i keep the "my computer" windows open then the annoying message box will keep popping up with the same message over and over again!!! what is wrong with my laptop? are there any settings that i have to change? what do i have to do to fix this problem permanently? i did leave the automatic update on so i assume that it won't be one of those update problems. any sort of help will be greatly appreciated, thank you. |

| 572614 | 2007-07-25 09:28:00 | Try updating to the latest version of your Nero software. It looks like it has something to do with Vista, not Nero.Did you read the link you posted? Some of the most well-known problem causing softwares are DivX and Nero, but there are others that cause the problem as well. [edit: Ah, I see you changed the word "not" to "and" after I started my post ...] |
