Equium A300 - error message: COM surrogate has stopped working

i have an error message saying COM suragate has stopped working.
Any ideas as to what it is and how to fix?

Hi
Its the first time that someone asking for this here in the forum
I searched in forum but I was not successful.
Then I used google and found this page:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fix-for-com-surrogate-has-stopped-working-error-in-vista/
There are different possible solutions.
It seems that software like DivX and Nero could cause this error message.
Check this page for right solution.

    Importing divx .avi file from VIO pov video camera crashes adobe PE9 with message: COM surrogate has stopped working.
    If I uninstall divx then PE9 won't crash, but only audio is present.  VIO says correct codec must be obtained from Adobe.  Is there a fix for this so that my $100 is not lost?

    Unfortunately, DivX and Xvid are not well supported, if at all.Some have had better luck with PrE 9.0.1, but they are few.
    To insure that things are as good as they will get, I would follow the steps in this ARTICLE, and also insure that you have the latest version of DivX CODEC installed.
    CyberLink's PowerDirector seems to work better with DivX footage, than does any Adobe NLE program.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Error Message : "Adobe Acrobat Has Stopped Working"

    I use Windows 7 - 64bit / CS6 Master Collection that has Adobe Acrobat x Pro.
    When the computer is on for a little while, Acrobat would generate the error message that it has stopped working and then shuts down. Once that error message occurs, I cannot get Acrobat to stay open. It opens the PDF document, stays open for a few seconds then the error message occurs and it shuts down.
    What helps for a short term is to restart the computer. This seems to temporarily remove the error until the computer is on for a while then the error returns.
    This problem repeats. Product repair feature does not work. This has nothing to do with the license, I tried that fix and it made no differnce. I do not have this issue with other Adobe products included in the master collection.
    It seems fruitless and frustrating to send a message to Adobe Support, the run around with pages and links is like smacking walls on every turn, it is obvious Adobe does not want people contacting their support. Service from Adobe for their products is poor.
    I hope that someone here has the answer to the problem. Anyone?

    Ok, here is the update.
    The link: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html , leads to a webpage that says to download a fix ZIP file named: "Acrofix.ZIP". It contains the file "acrofix.exe".
    I did use this "exe" file about 2 months ago and it did nothing to fix the issue. I used it again today, because the same issue of "Adobe Acorbat has stopped working", occurred again and again it did not work, the problem of "Adobe Acrobat stopped working" presists. Again the only work around, which is temporary, is to reboot the computer.
    So far these do not work:
    Relicensing or Registering the Licence
    Acrofix.exe
    Anyone else have an answer? - or am I the only one suffering this really annoying issue?

  • COM Surrogate has stopped working

    I've read the posts about this and nothing is working for me.
    I started getting this message a few weeks ago.  It comes up whenever I go into the folder I have video files stored in.  It pops up, telling me the COM Surrogate has stopped working and allows me to close the box - and when I do, another one comes up telling me the same thing, etc etc.  I have upgraded Divx, I don't have Nero, searches don't seem to bring back any results for Urge (all common causes it seems) so I don't know what to do.
    This is the first actual problem/annoyance I've had with Vista so far.
    Searches on Google have said that the Vista Codec Package is a fix for it, but I don't want to risk downloading this from some random site - especially if it's not going to work.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have the same problem, related to COM Surrogate. I have been dealing with this really anoying problem for several weeks, and i'm getting tired of it. If this continues, i'm going back to good linux ubuntu, which excels in multimedia content  (almost flawless, even when rotating the 3d desktop cube).
    I was very disappointed after installing windows vista SP2 today in the morning, because it provided a temporary "solution" to this problem. For those of you who have this problem, the messages will disappear after installing SP2 because the explorer will switch to the ugly icons view instead of thumbnails. While this workaround will be useful for a few days, it is not a solution, but a simple trick.
    If you switch back to thumbnail view, the problem appears again, even after updating to SP2.
    To microsoft guys: Please provide a patch for Vista! this is really anoying because my laptop, which i use almost exclusively for entertainment, shows this message over and over when I open folders containing video files.
    By the way, the solution of Ronnie didn't work at all. It made things worse. My computer has hardware DEP, so i don't see why i should disable DEP to any program. Anyway, I disabled DEP to the COM Surrogate and the message didn't show anymore, but it resulted in explorer crashing a few seconds later on my computer, after that i decided to perform the windows update in the hope that the problem was already solved but nothing.
    Please post when the update is ready! I'm getting bored at home :(

  • I am having a problem opening pdf document.  I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

    I am having a problem opening pdf document.  I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help.  I get the same message. What to do?

    Can you open Reader by itself?  If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

  • ERROR MESSAGE "MACROMEDIA PROJECTOR HAS STOPPED WORKING"

    I am using Windows Vista, and can no longer play any of my
    games. Was able to play before now I get this stupid
    error message: "Macromedia Projector has stopped working." I
    have tried redownloading the games again, tried redownloading the
    Flash and shockwave players, still nothing. HELP!

    I suddenly started getting the same error message and was reaching my wits end in trying to find a solution.
    This may sound bizarre, and you may not have the same situation as I found, but check your system/Windows date setting.
    Somehow, the year on my system had become 2096. I corrected it, and bingo! PSE 8 Editor works again.

  • What happened?  Tried to open Elements 8 and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working."

    The Welcome screen somes up but then fades and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working."  Then Windows closes the program.
    I shut down the computer, waited, then did restart, clicked on PSE, and the same message came up again.  That was last night,  thought I might get a message this morning, but same thing happened again.  I'm trying to not panic - this is all new to me.
    Any help welcome!

    If you have not updated to the most current version, you might try that.

  • Error message "clc.exe has stopped working".

    When I start Photoshop I get an error message "clc.exe has stopped working".  I have the latest version drivers for my Acer X23H and HP 2311 LCD monitors so upgrading them is not possible.  Is there any other fix I can try?

    I've just downloaded and installed the very latest drivers from AMD and installed them.  Still, I get the "clc.exe has stopped working" errors when I launch PS.  I do not get this, or any other errors, when opening or running any other programs, and have never once gotten a blue screen or had any failures in this system for the two or three years it's been running.
    While it's remotely possible that there is some error in AMD's latest (and previous) drivers for this video card, what seems to fit the symptoms I have, is that there is some problem in Adobe's code.
    Previous versions of Photoshop open and run fine on this system.  Other CAD and graphics programs run fine, too, with no crashes, lockups, or failures.
    Still, if there's something else that needs to be updated for my video system, to make the Adobe errors go away, I'm open to do whatever updates are necessary.  I'm running an AMD Radeon HD 5700 series display adapter, driver date 11/20/2014, version 14.501.1003.0.  Device manager says the device is working properly (for whatever that's worth).
    The computer is running Win 7 64 bit ultimate.  Processor is AMD Phenom II X6 1090T six-core processor.  All has been running flawlessly for several years, and continues to do so with every application except Adobe Photoshop 14.501.1003.0.

  • Can't open PDFs, Initially received runtime error,updated Reader - new error Adobe Reader has stopped working, uninstalled re-installed same error message Adobe Reader has stopped working

    Can't open PDFs, Initially received runtime error,updated Reader - new error Adobe Reader has stopped working, uninstalled re-installed same error message Adobe Reader has stopped working

    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from 
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.
