Chrome extensions not clickable

[Golden]

Can you do a quick test?

Type chrome://extensions in the browser address bar. Click the Develope Mode box. Close Chrome, restart it, and test one of the extensions.



Is Chrome your default browser?

I did try that without luck.

Yes, Chrome is my default browser.

Mmm. There has to be something besides the browser/extensions causing this. Is your system otherwise stable/without issue?

Please do the following to check the underlying system:
1. Click Start

2. In the search box, type cmd
3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator
4. In the command window that opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

Report the output from the command window once it finishes.

Another question : is the ESET firewall enabled?

Since the browser extension shortcuts work, but the mouse click doesn't, I suspect there is a setting in ESET (probably in the firewall) to prevent that sort of communication.

Well damn they all look normal to me what version chrome is it? Maybe you should try the Canary channel one and see if changes anything as it used it's own profile and maybe yours is corrupt. https://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs

All my Google Chrome extensions are not clickable.

E.g. when I click on the extension "Google Dictionary", it opens the small extension window with a search box and a button "Define". I am able to type a word in the search box, but I am not able to click on the button "Define". The extension does work if I press Enter on my keyboard.

All other extensions have the same problem: not clickable, but keyboard shortcuts do work.

Windows 7 Premium with Service Pack 1. Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63 m. ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 7.0.302.26

Any ideas how to fix this?

Like I posted. I replicated the OP's setup and found no problems/conflicts. ESET is all that I could not replicate.

Edit: I would still like to see this done. Disabling an AV app is not the same as uninstalling it.

sfc /scannow result is "no integrity violations".

No firewall whatsoever, whether Windows or ESET.

PC is working very well, stable and fast on 2 SSDs. Explorer 9 (which I used until now, because 10 and 11 had blurry fonts and other annoyances) had become increasingly difficult to use, with some sites not working at all on it, so I took the plunge and downloaded Chrome.

Thanks for the advice re

Have you tried a new Windows user/test account/profile?

If links fail in that test account, then...
...uninstall ESET
...restart the computer
...log onto your normal account
...delete that test account (and its files)
...create a fresh test account
...log on to that test account
...install Chrome, one extension and test links.

but that will have to wait until new year (lack of time)...

Before I try these new accounts / uninstalls / reinstalls:

- Do you all have Java or JVM, or is anything similar needed for Chrome to work?

- Is it possible that any settings in IE9 (which I haven't uninstalled) prevent Chrome from working properly?

 

[UsernameIssues]

There should be no real interaction between IE9 and Chrome, but I'll test that for you.

No - JAVA's run time environment (JRE) was not installed. It is not needed to make these Chrome Extension links work.

 

[UsernameIssues]

I only tested with one extension installed:



To be clear: when you click on a link like the one shown near the end of the video, nothing happens. Correct?

 

[nondisposable]

Yes; correct. These links are not clickable; but if there is a keyboard shortcut, they will work. That makes most extensions unusable.

I notice you have a .NET version which I don't, and also some program by Oracle which I don't have.

 

[UsernameIssues]

You can (probably should) update .NET to 4.5, but it probably does not impact this.

The oracle app allows VirtualBox Virtual Machines to interact with the host computer...
...things like mapping drives back to the host hard drive
...change screen resolutions

I tested without those two items installed and the results were the same:
the Chrome extension links were "clickable".

Boot to Safe Mode with Networking, and see if the problem exists there

If it works OK there, try a clean start to see if you can find a conflict
