I get this "COM Surrogate has stopped working" every time I click on a .AVI
file. Any idea what's causing it? I've not installed any codec's. A more
detailed look at the error shows:

Do you have Nero installed? It will cause this to happen.

Run DirectShow Filter Manager, and set the merit to "00200000" for all codecs
that start "Nero".

It's not a problem with Vista, but with the Nero MSI package. When a minimal
install is done, it part installs the codecs, which causes the errors you're
seeing when the Nero trying to thumbnail video clips.

Ahead need to fix the MSI.

You can get DirectShow filter manager here:

I found that if you change your default program to Nero play the file then
change it back to Windows Media Player that the error does not return.

This page has a fix also and seems to be easier.

I was able to get the program to show the complete list of codecs. Then
double clicked the codec for NERO that was 0x0600000 and tried to change
the 6 to 2. It would not work. What did I do wrong?

I tried to make the permanent change from Nero to MSWM, but it then
goes back to Nero for the next attempt. I have the block checked ok
for it always to do that. What did I do wrong?

Finally got rid of it all. It kept coming every time I clicked on an
AVI file, even after I uninstalled Nero. Then I read that there was a
Clean Nero file available from Nero that will ultimately really clean
ALL the Nero stuff on the HD and the registry that otherwise would be
left. I downloaded it, ran it (it took quite a while to finish) and
whammo, NO MORE POPUPS of the above.

What was the original issue? The first post is blank. I saw this yesterday
for the first time while trying to see the properties of a folder in Windows
Explorer.
