Whenever I open a folder that has a DIVx movie in it I get an error that says “comm. Surrogate has stopped working”. It doesn’t prevent the video from playing, but Windows wants to check for solutions, but can’t find any. The problem even name is appcrash and the application name is diihost.exe . Any ideas on this would be great since I haven’t been able to find any just by searching. Thanks.

update the DivX version or disable the thumbnail preview generation in the Explorer options.

Edit your posts instead of making a new one (where possible) if you have had no replies within 24 hours.

Did you do what MagicAndre recommended?
