    Google Chrome Stopped Working


    Every time I try and open Chrome I get this message and says it needs to shut down. It worked fine yesterday, just started this on boot up today. I have done a Google search and done most of the suggestions like renaming the Default file and several others with no affect. I have uninstalled Chrome and re-installed it. I have run scanow and nothing. There have been no changes or updates to my computer. I'm running Windows 7. All other browsers work just fine. Can anyone help? Thanks. Chuck

    I'm surprised no one has any suggestions. I guess I will have to forget Chrome and stay with Firefox. Chuck

    Hmm, try:
    - a clean startup - Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup
    - another user account - User Account - Create
    - start Chrome in Safe Mode (start with command line switch "--safe-plugins" and also in incognito mode How to run Google Chrome in “Safe Mode” or "Incognito Mode"? - Tech Help Buzz)

    No changes to the computer to create a conflict. Did a "clean start" with no change. Only have one account and that is admin. Even set Chrome to run as admin with no change. I even set up another account to see if that would work with no joy. Can't run Chrome incognito if I can't start it. Tried to run in safe mode using chrome.exe -incognito and get the same error message, Chrome has stopped working. Chuck

    Tried System Restore prior to the issue yet? System Restore

    Can't run Chrome incognito if I can't start it
    Did you try the exe switch from the article? You set it outside of chrome (before starting it).

    Does it work in Safe Mode with Networking?

    Tried system restore and no affect. The exe switch for the safe mode from the article gave me the same error message "chrome has stopped working and needs to shut down." I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it deleted the defaults folder and just about every other fix I could find doing a Google search. Nothing has worked so far. Chuck

    Did you try Safe Mode with Networking yet?

    Try uninstall Chrome and run CCleaner for files and registry. Then re-install.

    "Try uninstall Chrome and run CCleaner for files and registry. Then re-install."
    Did that already including manually deleting any folders and files I could find for Chrome.

    "Did you try Safe Mode with Networking yet?"
    I'm not sure I know what you mean by this, Networking.

    When you start the PC with F8 (Advanced Boot Options), there is an option for Safe Mode with Networking.

    OK, Got it. I ran safe start up with networking, opened Chrome. It said it didn't shut down properly and I clicked restore. It opened and worked fine. Restarted the computer in normal mode and got the same error message and it closed. So what does that mean. Thanks. Chuck
