I'm using Vista RC2 built 5744. Every time I copy files I will always get this error popping up "COM Surrogate has stop working" and will keep on popping after I close it.

Any solution outer there that can help me. Thanks

Found the solution in the web.

This error can come from NERO or DivX CODEC

Use FFDShow instead of Divx
[This helped]
If you have NERO please rename NeVideo.ax in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\ to 1NeVideo.ax or anything else.

[Rename this if the above doesn't work]
NeroVideoProc.ax

Nice on your part on posting the problem you had and the solution you found; provides us some good info, Question: Do you know is this is just an issue with Nero, or can it occur when using other applications as well?
