| When launching chrome, the browser does not open | sr123 | 1/22/09 10:06 PM | As per topic, on Windows XP SP2 - a process "chrome.exe" appears with the updater in taskmgr, but no browser. I think I've figured out the problem. This was discussed without solution in the previous Chrome troubleshooting archives at http://groups.g |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | macweirdo | 2/27/09 1:33 PM | This is the same thing happening to me. idk as well. One piece of advice though - check the path that "chrome.exe" is at. Right-click on the shortcut, select Properties. My path was "C:\Documents and Settings\Robert\Local Settings\Application Data\Go |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | fozzi_behr | 4/28/09 7:12 AM | My path was C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Local Settings\Application\chrome.exe, and was working fine until one day when it just stopped opening. I went to the folder, and there were 2 exe's, and I could get neither to open. I did not change any of |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | david.rice.86 | 4/30/09 7:45 PM | I have tried all of the listed fixes that I can find, and so far my Chrome still will not open when I click on the icons or try and run it directly from its file. Does anyone have any more suggestions? |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | esgar | 7/23/09 7:43 AM | I have the same issue; what I'm doing right now to open chrome is going to task manager and hit "new task.." enter chrome and it will open... Hopefully somebody can have a fix..... (I love chrome) |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | DeHARcO | 9/14/09 1:04 AM | Ver Strange Issue I Agree. The task manager opens chrome but not the run command. First I went into the options and on the "Under the Hood" tab i clicked restore defaults. After that I changed the shortcut on the desktop. For some reason the shortcu |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | sirviejo | 2/7/10 6:14 AM | I solved this issue with macweird's tip. It seems that some kind of virus or malware changes my shortcut's destination. I edit that and solved issue. |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | zerowx5 | 7/27/10 7:05 AM | i found this a simple solution. search google chrome in windows then find the actual .exe double click it and it will open right? something might have happened to the shortcut so just basically create a new shortcut and tada it works again dont ask m |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | oneStarman | 8/5/10 7:27 AM | I have been having this problem with Chrome Process(es) also. Multiple chrome process in Task Manager with only Google home page running. Then when I close the browser the Chrome process is still running and my Hard Drive is being hammered. It seems |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | thinkbrinke | 8/5/10 8:16 AM | I have noticed that in the last few days..Chrome is SLOW to start in the AM. to the point that iGoogle gave me an AW SNAP this page is not responding. |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | SCSteiner | 8/15/10 7:25 PM | My chrome stopped loading. After firing the application I would look in task manager and it was not there. I simply downloaded and installed the current version and it now WORKS. I did not even have to reboot. |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | Momekh | 12/27/10 12:11 AM | You could solve this problem by perhaps doing what I did: I downloaded and installed Google Chrome (via FF). It started connecting to the Net to d/l Chrome files etc, and when that finished, my previous Chrome just fired up, asking me if I wanted to |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | angiekae68 | 3/13/11 1:33 PM | I've tried all the fixes, still nothing. When I opened the Task Manager, went to "New Task" and typed in "Chrome", the process actually appeared in the Task Manager, but then disappeared a few seconds later. No clue what's going on but I wish someone |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | Christi6746 | 3/16/11 10:34 PM | I have tried all these suggestions and other things, too, and NOTHING is working for me. Safari has the same exact issue. Only Firefox will work and I HATE Firefox. I need my chrome back. :( |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | DJ Allyn | 3/24/11 3:44 PM | My work computer, an old XP box, was running Chrome fine for months. Then suddenly, two days ago, Chrome just stopped loading. I uninstalled with Revo, ran Ccleaner and cleaned up the registry, and reinstalled Chrome and it STILL doesn't load. Loo |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | marcel.spitz | 4/27/11 4:35 PM | A possible reason for this problem we think can be found in the definition of multiple displays. I often use a TV monitor to display and present and I believe that somehow there is a mismatch between what I scan see and what can be used by the system |
| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | jshpro2 | 6/18/11 10:06 AM | I have the same setup as marcel spitz with a TV. However I have experienced both 'hidden windows' that can be recovered with alt+tab, and this issue. This issue is different. The window never exists within Windows. The chrome.exe kills itself after a |

| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | DJ Allyn | 8/21/11 4:27 PM | Apparently, given the fact that this is an issue that has been going on for YEARS now, nobody seems to have an answer to it. My work computer has nothing different on it than any of the other work stations in the office, it is just that Chrome doesn |

| Re: When launching chrome, the browser does not open | DJ Allyn | 9/20/11 8:38 AM | Nobody from Google seems to care. For that reason alone, I am just giving up on them and sticking with Firefox. There is no point for having a "Google Forum" like this is nobody is paying attention. |
