| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | ML123 | 1/30/09 4:51 AM | I just got updated since posting, to 1.0.154.46 The problem is still there. The red X doesn't close Chrome. The next box to the left of the X doesn't make the screen smaller, the minimize button does not minimize. When I hover the mouse over this to |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | ML123 | 2/5/09 4:37 AM | I just installed Chrome on an XP and it's version 1.0.154.48. In this version and on XP, when I click the X, Chrome closes like it's supposed to. I'm still having problems with Chrome on Vista and will see if the update to 1.0.154.48 will help. |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | HundredNames | 2/5/09 9:42 AM | Same problem here. However I have a clue whats causing it - it started happening after I changed the DPI. OS: Vista Home Premium / Service Pack 1 Chrome: 1.0.154.48 |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | ML123 | 2/5/09 9:46 AM | DPI - dots per inch? or something else? Please explain. Thanks |

| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | ML123 | 2/5/09 11:48 AM | Gee, I'd hate to have to mess with my DPI. I had oodles of problems setting my up monitors and finally got it working. I guess if Chrome doesn't work with the DPI settings I have, I won't use Chrome very often. At this link http://www.google.com/sup |

| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | mkane | 2/6/09 5:38 AM | Its a bug. I am using XP SP3 never changed any setting and still gives me occasional problems. what i do? change the website on the tab and it closes easily. |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | ML123 | 2/7/09 1:05 PM | Woo, Hoo! I can close Chrome the normal way now, and I can see the light blue border at the top!! FlamingRabbit's tip worked. Definitely a bug when using Vista Home Premium SP1. In XP, I didn't have this problem. |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | BrianCalhoun | 2/16/09 11:42 AM | If you don't care about your DPI settings in Chrome you can fix this by simply right clicking your chrome icon selecting properties > compatibility tab > disable display scaling on high DPI settings. Alternatively you can select compatibility mode an |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | MTP | 3/3/09 3:56 PM | This is a bug. As soon as you use Vista with DPI changed, this happens. On my system, nothing works and setting compatibility to Windows Server 2003 SP1 or "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" does nothing. This is for my mom's computer an |

| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | DukeObjectivist | 6/10/09 5:24 PM | I have the same problem since initially downloading Chrome about a month ago. I don't think my screen resolution setting has been changed. I run Vista (on a 2-month-old computer). The minimize button doesn't work, either. If I double-click either of |
| Re: Red Button with X doesn't close Chrome | MrEngineer | 9/15/09 9:21 PM | I'm running Chrome 2.0.172.43 on Vista 64bit. I've had trouble with it closing unresponsive tabs, but this is the first time the browser itself refused to close. I've even tried "Exit" under the wrench. Note that I just tried closing all my tabs. |
