COM Surrogate has stopped working error, No sound
Recently I started getting the pop-op error stating "COM Surrogate has stopped working". At the time I was running Windows 7 and had recently updated my video drivers. I went ahead and updated to Windows 10, hoping that the update would fix the error, which it did not. Before the Windows upgrade, the COM error was intermittent, and I had sound. After the upgrade, I do not have sound, and the error is constant from startup. After clicking on "Close the program" another error box immediately pops up in it's place.
I have already tried the following solutions to no avail:
- Updating video/audio drivers
- Uninstalling video/audio drivers completely
- Uninstalling all Codecs
- Updating DivX
- Nero is not installed
- Adding dllhost.exe to DEP exception
- Ran the System File Checker - no errors
- Ran Check Disk - no errors
- Scanned and removed all malware using LavaSoft Ad-Aware
- Ran Windows Repair - no errors
- Re-registering vbscript.dll and jscript.dll
I am out of ideas for solutions. Any and all help is appreciated.
