From Microsoft's Surface page:
It turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, interactive surface. The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. In essence, it’s a surface that comes to life for exploring, learning, sharing, creating, buying and much more. Soon to be available in restaurants, hotels, retail and public entertainment venues, this experience will transform the way people shop, dine, entertain and live.

After I uninstalled Nero on my dad's laptop, I kept getting the error "This program requires the file advrcntr2.dll ..." whenever I opened a folder that contained a video file.

There is a good fix for this: use Nero's Clean Tool to remove the leftover registry entries.

Tell us whether this fix worked for you by leaving a comment!
