Error in Vista COM Surrogate

[Conrad11]

Hi there,

I sometimes get this error in Windows Vista. All the times i can remember getting it I have been playing a video or have had VLC Player open.

I am on Windows Vista 32bit (no SP1 - all officially updated) with VLC Player 0.8.6d.

Here is the error i get:

...then when i click close:

How do I fix this, or is it a known error?

Thanks.

ImgBurn? DVD Decrypter? DVD Shrink? PowerISO? Maybe some others....

I only have Real/Quicktime Alternative alternative codecs installed + VLC Player.

I don't really believe in codec packs - no need for them.

Is there anyway I can disable Video thumbnails if that will fix it?
