i restarted my computer and i can the following incidents on my vista as soon as i login:

i receive various windows popups that say ".....has stopped working"

for example: "microsofy Sync Center has stopped working"

"microsoft audio service has stopped working"

and so on

 

however before this popups started..i was receiving

 

"com surrogate has stopped working"

 

and

 

"windows host process (rundll32) has stopped working"

 

 

any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi sukar;

I'm glad you uninstalled those programs. However I'm concerned that you are engaging in habits that are unsafe.

 

Try doing a System Restore to before you installed those.

 

If that works I would suggest you uninstall any and all games or programs that were not obtained legitimately.

 

Also did you get that game from a torrent site as they can be notoriously problematic.

 

If you do have a torrent program remove that also.

[sukar_91]

by system restore you mean to the last "safe point" or a complete system restore

because i have not made any recent system restore enteries on my computer

 

everything that i installed has been uninstalled

[RandyL]

By System Restore I mean restore it to a point when it worked. You would not have to have made a restore point as Vista creates one every 24 hours automatically. It's extremely hard to change that setting.

 

If you have not turned off System Restore you can run it by going to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. It might take a couple minutes to bring it up so be patient.

 

This will not restore your computer to it's original state when you first got it. That is a system recovery or reinstall. This will just back it up to the date you choose. If it doesn't work you can un-do the restore using the same applet.

[sukar_91]

when i go to system restore, it says the following:

 

no restore point has been created on your computers system disk.

[RandyL]

It appears that it's been turned off then. First things first though.

 

Since you were getting errors before this anyway I suggest to hang on while we review this.

 

It seems all these errors relate to software most likely or an additional hardware device. Audio or video editing or burning software like Nero may be to blame. Can you tell us what programs you have that might relate?

 

As a side note I would make sure all your files are backed up to an external media source just in case or in case you need to reinstall.

[sukar_91]

would like to thank you in advance

 

i do no have nero or any other sort of burning software which i have recently installed. The last thing i installed was the game and its update, however i did some prior research and i read somewhere about :

 

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx alwaysoff

 

so i did this and there was no difference..so its alwayson again now

 

besides this i have not recently installed any new software to my computer. I just got a new HD put in and everything seemed to be working fine before i installed the game earlier today

[RandyL]

Since you recently put in a new hard drive you had to reinstall Windows on it. What kind of Windows disk is this? Did it come with your computer?

 

Since you recently put in a new hard drive you probably haven't installed much software yet. Can you tell us what third party software you have installed even though it is not "recent".

 

A startup repair may or may not work so if you could please answer those questions we'll look into it. Please give as much detail as you can in your answers.

[sukar_91]

the windows disk did come with the computer

i currently have vista home premium on this computer, thats what it came up

once the new HD was put it, i received it with the restore and windows installed

 

i have the following third party softwares:

 

bitdefender 2009

hijack this

itunes

k-lite codec pack

mkv2vob

fire fox

CCleaner

Utorrent

quicktime

windows live messenger

winrar

 

*sidenote*

when i go to folder options under control panel and UNCHECK the "Always show icons,never thumbnails" option

i only receive "COM Surrogate has stopped working" messages

[RandyL]

Sukar I have asked you about audio or video softare and you said no to Nero but failed to mention mkv2vob. mkv2vob and the k-lite codec pack have been known to cause these issues.

 

You just said you still have Utorrent and I see you have winrar too. I have asked you to remove any torrent programs and you said you did. You are probably using winrar to unrar torrents which is dangerous enough considering what you have been downloading.

 

Since you have not been completely honest here I'm going to quote rule 4 from our rules.
