How to temporarily disable the Com Surrogate.

Is it possible to temporarily disable the Com Surrogate? I play this game and my laptop can barely play without lag. Yet, I realized that whenever he hangs out sound when Com Surrogate is in my process in the Task Manager. Help, please

Hello

Thanks for posting the query on Microsoft Community. You have reached the right place. Let us work together to find the cause of this problem and try to solve.

Game in which you try to read?

The COM Surrogate is a fancy name for sacrificial processes for a COM object that is running outside the process which has asked. Explorer uses the COM Surrogate during extraction of thumbnails, for example. If you go to a folder with thumbnails enabled, Explorer will trigger a COM Surrogate and use it to calculate the thumbnails for documents in the folder. It does because Explorer has learned not to trust miniature extractors; they have a poor track record of stability. Explorer has decided to absorb the decline in performance in Exchange for increased reliability resulting by moving these dubious bits of code on the process of the master browser. When the Thumbnail Extractor crashes, the crash destroyed the COM Surrogate process instead of explore.

The issue could also be some third-party programs, the origin of the problem. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of software that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You can also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have other problems with Windows in the future.

  • How to temporarily disable the update insert dates?

    Hello!

    DW CC on MacOS 10.11.3 2015.1

    I use "Insert date" (see: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/insert-dates.html) to track the most-recent-update of content pages.  The time stamp is displayed after "Page updated:"about content. "

    I just discovered a systematic error in repeated, without reusable content in 1500 + pages. Oh!

    The solution is simple and I would like to use search and replace in DW to do the job, but I want to leave all the most recent timestamps in these pages intact, that this correction does not affect content.

    My question: how to temporarily disable the DW mechanism that updates the timestamp in the markup?

    I suspect that there is a visible JS file that implements the update, and the path to success is to temporarily replace an inert version of the same name, but before you start digging for this...

    TIA

    The file you need to disable temporarily is at the following location in Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2015\configuration\Translators\Date.htm. He will be in a situation similar to Mac OS X in the Applications folder.

    If you use an earlier version of Dreamweaver on a PC running 64-bit Windows, see C:\Program Files (x 86).

    Date.htm contains two JavaScript functions: getTranslatorInfo() and translateMarkup() you need to temporarily replace with dummy functions.

    Know that you will be editing a program file. Needs administrator privileges to do this. As long as you know what you're doing, it should not cause problems, but you do at your own risk.

    Select the Pen and Touch and go to the contact tab.

    At the top is "Use your finger as input device."  Uncheck the box.

    Thanks in advance.

    3. Click on the small arrow next to Interface devices to expand the list.
    4. Click the touchscreen driver (in my case, Voltron NextWindow touch screen).

    Ignore the link of the player Shockwave that probably, you mustn't he compared to Flash player because it is barely used nowadays.

    FredMcD, you really need correct/update your clipboard for that.

    The downloadable Shockwave player version (not flashing) is 12.1.3.153 and not 15.0.0.152 as you can be confusing which version of the flashplayer reached before.

    Flash player is 15.0.0.189 and not 14.0.0.179 as you can see at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    Flash player is used for good Flash videos like Youtube and Flash games in Shockwave player is little used compared to Flash, for things such as games and online learning tools.

    And please, don't say "I asked. It's the way it is displayed on the site"as you said last time in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026518 , because who says little about why you're wrong ad versions and calling Shockwave player, Shockwave Flash.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to disable the next\previous buttons in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

    When you try to print an image by using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it would display all available photos in the folder that contains the image you have chosen to print.
