COM Surrogate
After doing a disk cleanup and deleting "Thumbnails" without realizing it would cause this, I have started to get the message "COM Surrogate has stopped working" a lot of the times that I try to open images (and other people who receive this error report it to happen with videos/movies as well, but I currently don't have any to test that out). How can I go about fixing this problem? I tried doing a system restore, because I set a restore point last night, but I can't quite remember if I saved the restore before or after I did the disk cleanup. In any case, it didn't help. Would be nice to get rid of this problem, I'm not sure what COM Surrogate is or what it does, but maybe disabling it would solve my problems without creating new ones?
Any help is greatly appreciated (and rewarded with +rep of course )
