The error message "(10092) ActiveX Automation: server cannot create object" may indicate that Surfer has not been installed correctly.  You can try uninstalling and reinstalling Surfer and attempt to run the script again.

If the installation completed without error, note that you must run Surfer interactively at least once to complete the installation process before you can use Surfer with a script. So after you install Surfer, open the Surfer program (you may need to enter the serial number) and close it. Then try to run the script.

There is a problem running Surfer when PC Anywhere runs at startup.  If you are running PC Anywhere, you can work around the problem by removing it from the startup menu, restart the computer and then starting PC Anywhere manually after the computer restarted.

We have also seen this error under Windows Vista/7 when the user has a combination of an older version of Surfer 8 (not 8.09), running Surfer not as administrator, and having the UAC (User Account Control) turned on. First, go to Help | About Surfer. If you are using Surfer 8, but not 8.09, then please go to Help | Check for Update to update to 8.09. After you are using 8.09, try to run the script.

If you are using Surfer under Vista or 7, try opening Scripter as administrator. This is different than logging into the computer as administrator. Right click over the Scripter EXE file, desktop shortcut, or link under the Programs menu and go to “Run as administrator” to run it in administrator mode. Once Scripter is opened in administrator mode, then open the script and run it.

If that also doesn’t help, and you are using Windows Vista or 7, you can try turning the UAC (User Account Control) off via the Control Panel | User Accounts. You will need to reboot after UAC is turned off.
