So lately I’ve been getting a lot of issues with my HTPC which I’m starting to believe is due to codec issues.  Not sure how these problems arose, it’s been fine for a while and I haven’t changed anything, but anyway I’m getting frequent crashing, especially when playing video, COM Surrogate errors, etc.

Can you explain in more detail what the issues are specifically?  Generally I don’t recommend installing codec packs (which despite Josh’s assertions to the contrary, Shark007 is) so I do think that a more specific approach to resolving codec issues (if this is a codec issue) is warranted.
