I get this error message a LOT when browsing through photos using Windows Photo Viewer - "COM Surrogate has stopped working". It's annoying me! I understand that this is caused by incompatible codecs or pieces of software such as DivX and Nero right? I don't have DivX at all on my system but I do have Nero (Nero 9 Essentials). Is there anything I can do to resolve the issue? I've been using Nero 9 Essentials for a long time now and never had any issues with COM Surrogate up until now. Thanks.
