COMSurrogate是什么？

COM Surrogate错误通常会在Vista下当浏览一个包含音视频文件的文件夹时发生，Vista的官方对此错误的说明如下：
If you’ve been getting the error COM Surrogate has stopped working whenever you browse folders containing video or media files, you have come to a good place for some possible solutions. This problem is caused because of codecs and other COM components installed by various softwares that aren’t fully Vista-compatible, like some versions of DivX or Nero.
从上文我们可以看到，造成此问题的原因是某些安装的COM 组件若并不完全兼容Vista则会发生，例如某些DivX或Nero的COM组件。
可能的解决手段，国外的Vista爱好者提供了如下的办法，供您参考：
