    I'm triyng to run 3DMark06 to get some benchmarks for my GPU, but I keep getting an error once I start up the program

    "COM Surrogate has stopped working"

    I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit (not windows 7, as my signature may imply otherwise).

    This is a pretty fresh install of Vista so I haven't really added too many extra programs.

    I am not using divx or nero, so the only potential fix was to turn off DEP.

    Error:
    "You can not set DEP attributes on 64-bit executables"

    I had already tried that solution after googling earlier, forgot to mention that.
