Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host and COM Surrogate stopped working. How do fix you this?

When I try to use Windows Live Photo Gallery, the program opens, but then I get 2 two errors as shown below:

(1), Windows Live Photo Gallery Codec Host has stopped working
A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Please close the program
(2) COM Surrogate has stopped working
A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
One of the error messages suggested that I go to Windows Update to see if I could get a fix it.  I tried a few times, but no luck.
I am running Windows Vista SP2 (32 bit) on a Gateway GM5474 computer.  I loved this machine and problems have been almost non-existent.  I set it up as a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux (11.04) machine as my other OS.  I'm not an expert, but I don't think it would affect the operation of this program, isn't it?
I also wanted to mention that the creation of Windows DVD works as well, but I'll get some help on this and if I find anything, I'll go back to Microsoft Answers for help.
I want to thank you in advance for your support.  I got the great help from you in the past.
Sincerely,

Dennis
