The 'COM Surrogate has stopped working' error doesn't appear to stop you doing much, but its interruption can be irritating and it's not often obvious what's caused the problem.Nailing down the precise cause of why your DLL host isn't responding isn't always easy. There are a few ways it can go wrong, with the most obvious and typical being there has been some corruption in a codec which allows the thumbnails of certain media to be displayed. In other cases, a corrupted display driver can be the cause, or errors on your storage drive.
In some more niche cases, we've heard reports of specific applications like Adobe Photoshop and Nero disk burner, causing COM Surrogate to stop working.
