The issue was that on clicking the chrome icon nothing happens, the browser does not load up, and the task manager does not show the process to be running. Not sure what triggered this though.
The solution is to go to the following path in your command prompt
C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)
Run the following statement
setup.exe --rename-chrome-exe
quit the command prompt with an exit. Chrome started working for me after that, hope it works for you as well. The link of the google page from where I got this from is below

ReplyDeleteThe only tricky bit is you must go into DOS using CMD rather than COMMAND, so you're able to use the long directory names.
ReplyDeleteWorked for me also on Win7, fantastic :-)

Wow.. it really worked! Granted I had to follow a different path with Windows 7, but it's been more than a day and Chrome hasn't crashed once, when before it would crash every few minutes. Thanks a TON. I didn't want to have to return to Firefox or IE.
ReplyDeleteMy beloved Chrome has been on the brink as well. It loads but doesn't connect. I get an error message saying: This webpage is not available. blah blah blah Error 10 (net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED): Unknown error.
ReplyDeleteSo I checked the default properties for my web browsers and it seems that even though I put Chrome as the default browser, IE8 is retaining the file extensions for .mht, .mhtml, & .url files as its defaults and won't let me uncheck the boxes in the default settings to change it to Chromes file associations. WTF? Any solutions?
XP pro - did not work for me. Very upsetting. Now i'm looking for a new browser. Never had a problem with IE. Someone needs to be fired
ReplyDeleteOk but what about mac? how do i fix it on an apple computer? (same problem)
