| Re: Profile Problem | gavinw | 10/1/10 11:00 AM | I also have this problem. It started for me when I switched from Dev channel back to Beta. (I'm on Mac). It seems to be working fine - but periodically I get that message "Your profile can't be used..." Curious what this means and how to fix. |

| Re: Profile Problem | vasa1 | 10/5/10 12:07 AM | @benw31: Sorry! I saw from an earlier post that you're using a Mac. Even then, you should search for a folder called Chrome after choosing to look for hidden files and take it from there. Can't help anymore :-( |
