Error: COM SUrrogate will not work

Hello

All 5-10 sec. I get an error message with: COM Surrogate will not work.
DivX is same day as windows.

It has something to do with Media Player?

  • DirectSound Capture error. Meter will not work

    Since I have Windows 7 I was not able to play the Midis on my computer... I gave several times on this because I was never able to produce any type of error in relation to it.

    When I press play on a midi in Windows Media Player, only the "drum" seems to play and nothing else.

    So, today I thought I would get a Midi player and had Midi SoundFont player and when I turned it on. I got this error:

    ---------------------------
    Midi player
    ---------------------------
    DirectSound Capture error. Meter will not work.
    ---------------------------
    Ok

    and the files it plays does the same thing that any time before only a barrel, no music.
    I hope that this error message can help get for lunch again.
    How can I fix?

    -as an aside, that may or may not be linked there are times when headphones are plugged into the front panel of my computer that all constantly emits a white noise that I do not notice it when the music plays.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    The question is limited to any file in particular?

    Windows Media Player supports midi files.

    I suggest you run the fix for the Player Windows media related question library and check.

  • 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.

  • DV7 error when viewing of images: "COM Surrogate has stopped working".

    Hi, I got a new replacement laptop (Pavilion dv7-7008tx with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) HP last Friday, June 8, and I find that when I browse through multiple images in the Windows Photo Viewer I invariably get the error 'COM Surrogate has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... "I close the window and reopen and it is fine. This does not happen with specific images.

    Problem solved. I went on HP Live Chat support and the technician gave me the download links to updates to the graphics driver, which solved the problem.

  • Com Surrogate "has stopped working" what installation police FTT on C drive under Vista 32 bit?

    Last night, I acquired and scanned [for security issues] 3 font TTF files to install in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder as usual.

    The first two fonts went fine, BUT the third "Berlin Email schéma" police threw up an error Com Surrogate "has stopped working".

    As I said, I scanned the font files before any attempt to copy/install the...

    I also ran a complete check & repair on drive C, last night, with no reported errors / bad sectors.

    Now, I am running a full analysis of McAfee on my computer - which I doubt will lift up to the top of questions, but I try to be thorough.

    Despite Com Surrogate, I have no problem display of media files, or opening files / media such as MP3s and JPEG playback.

    Any suggestions? I don't want to run with a fixable problem unless I have to... and I would rather have back the possibility to install fonts for my graphics work [I have about 10 fonts plus the basic package provided by Microsoft, so far, so I'm not clog the system!]

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks for the response - in fact, I had tried the 2nd suggestion, after reading the other sons of COM Surrogate. It did not work.

    However, in the pack of fonts that I downloaded, I noticed that it contained files of the Foundation as well as TTF versions... Curiosity got to me and police OTF files installed correctly [and work properly in Word and Photoshop] without these errors.

    I can only imagine files TTF for 'Berlin Email' to Peter Wiegel variations of police [medium, outline etc.] that are widely available on the net must be correctly written. Although his records from OTF to the same fonts are very good [that are police records I have of other 3rd-party designer-programmers, installed on the same day].

    As each disk check, the repair process, scanning and virus check is 100% clean, and all media connectedness files I use work perfectly, I'm 99.9% sure that it was a font error codes file and not any form of operating system error.

    So my DEP settings are left on during all programs without exception, and I don't see any more errors.

  • COM Surrogate has stopped working suddenly?

    I had my PC Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit since March, 2012.

    Tonight, October 17, 2014, I started getting an error "COM Surrogate has stopped working" pop up, all the time, for no apparent reason.

    I can not play with Windows Media Player AVI files without this message and ALSO a message that WMP has ALSO stopped working.

    I can't play AVI files in right click on the video and using 'Play with WMP Basic' without also getting this message as soon as I do a right click.

    I don't know if it's related, but since YESTERDAY I can't load YAHOO! in Internet Explorer. The page will simply not load, so I can't check my email official, formal and work-related.

    Chrome works very well, so I CAN access YAHOO! my general, leisure, pleasure and e-mails related to the game.

    I always allow upgrades of Windows, so I don't understand why it started to happen out of the blue.

    I have a current Antivirus with BitDefender Total Security and perform regular maintenance.

    Any suggestions on a fix for this?

    Thank you very much

    (Moved to programs)

    The first error points to the ffdshow.ax:

    Fault Module name: ffdshow.AX
    Fault Module version: 1.3.0.0
    Module Timestamp error: 53aedcb1

    The second error points to the avformat-lav - 55.dll:

    Fault Module version: 55.43.100.0
    Module Timestamp error: 00029000

    The ffdshow.ax and avformat-lav - 55.dll can be components of a pack of codecs such as the K-Lite Codec Pack.

    Codec packs are / are installed?

    You can uninstall the codec packs and see if the error resolves?

  • Error message "Com Surrogate has stopped working"

    Original title: popup Windows Com Surrogate has stopped working? What dose that mean? Also computer very slow suggestions?

    This popup comes in at any time and have noticed the computer has been running for extremelyslow. Also Windows will open programs without asking for confirmation. When I run analysis said updates I'm uptodate and the functioning of the system. Any suggestions?

    Hello


    Com Surrogate has stopped working:

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Start the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists. If the issue is not perist in safe mode, and then put the computer to boot and see if the problem still occurs.
     

    Step 1: Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.


    Step 2: to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Computer running extremely slow:

    Perform the steps in the article mentioned below and check if the problem persists.

  • "COM Surrogate has stopped working" - error when browsing photos on the new version of Windows 7

    Just built a new pc and installed Windows 7, everything works fine but whenever I browse photos using the photo viewer, it freezes and opens with "COM Surrogate has stopped working" (after 10-20 photos - happens every time).

    I read online about possible errors - I do not have Nero or DivX installed so cannot include those. I also can not disable Protection for the execution of the data for dllhost.exe is 64-bit Windows, so it will not allow him.

    Any help would be much appreciated: it's very frustrating!

    If you have a laptop with optimus or ati changegraphic, you must add the dllhost.exe to the graphics card performance. After that it should be to fix the problem.

  • Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Vista Ultimate 32-bit upgrade. Installation file will not work. The error is described below.

    The XPS 730 with Intel Q9450 computer yourself running Windows 7 64 bit? The details of performance show that it is capable of 64-bit. When I try to install Windows 7 pro 64-bit upgrade, the installer will not work. I get an error that reads:
    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are running.

    I'm currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit. Everything that I read on Microsoft and elsewhere says that you can go from Vista 32 bit to an operating system Windows 7 64-bit as long as you do the clean install. I'm that far away since I can't even run the installation.
    Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem?

    Hi Hal K,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

    If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you run a 64-bit version of Windows, you can perform an upgrade to another 64-bit Windows version.

    If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows, and vice versa, you will need to back up your files and then perform a custom of the version of Windows you want to install installation.
