Had a little quick search and noticed that no results came up.
For future reference, there appears to be a bug present in many installs of Vista that when you open a folder containing a video file the above message "COM Surrogate has stopped working" is displayed. (see attached)
This is part of the Vista system for making thumbnails of your video files. You can fix this by going into your folder view options and checking the box next to "Always show icons, never thumbnails" (See attached)
Hope this helps some people.
