COM Surrogate does not work on my computer. I installed all THE updates, but this still does not work. Help, please.

I don't know what is COM Surrogate.  It lights up just on the screen and I don't know why!  He just tells me to install important updates, what I've done.

Hi Carolina,.

According to Alexander in this thread of TechNet:
"COM Surrogate (dllhost.exe) is an application that is often used by Windows Explorer to isolate themselves from codecs (if explore would be the codecs in its own process, it would crash as it did in XP, so explore generates dllhost to actually treat the miniatures, etc outside its process space)."
There are a few things that people have done to solve the problem.
1. If you have Nero or Roxio Easy CD Creator installed, try to uninstall it to see if this problem is still happening.
' 2 ' Kiifer ' reported that checking the "Always show icons" option in folder options seems to have solved their problem.
Click Start > click computer > press the Alt key to bring up the menu option Tools > click on options files > click the View tab > check the box for always show icons, never thumbnails. This is the first check box under files and folders.
Please keep us updated.
