Bogus Chrome crash message
I have had Chrome installed on my Win 7 PC for a long time and have had no problems with it until recently. I don't use it as my #1 browser, however. I use IE mostly and use Firefox and Chrome occasionally.
Several days ago I started to get the dreaded 'Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed' popup. This was a mystery since the message was popping up ad nauseum when Chrome wasn't open. Amazing how a program can crash when it is closed. Annoyingly, I can't see anyone else online who has had this message appear when Chrome is not running. But surely I am not alone.
Being driven crazy with this constant interruption, I have uninstalled Chrome, but would reinstall it if someone can help me stop the popup. Installing an older version of Chrome might be a temporary solution.
One thing I noticed was that the popup appeared even when no browser was open and Windows Live Mail 2011 was open. This might indicate a clash of some kind, but my wife uses a Win 7 PC with virtually the same setup and she hasn't seen the popup. Nobody in a computer group I belong to has seen it either.
Any ideas how to overcome this irritation would be most gratefully received.
