I got an automatic update from Firefox yesterday or the day before and now Chrome won't open and launch to the Internet. Anyone know why or what I can do to fix it? I'm not very computer savvy so please explain in a step by step procedure. Thanks.

Uninstall and reinstall should do the trick. Backup your user data folder first though. It is located in

Code:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

for Vista/Win7 and in

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data

for XP.
I wonder what an update from Firefox has to do with Chrome?..

I do have XP and I can't figure it out either. Since I can't launch it, how will I get into it to uninstall and reinstall?

Go to control panel, open Add/remove programs and uninstall it from there.
As for the backup, you have to open Folder options in Control Panel, and put a checkbox near "View system files and folders" and select a radiobutton "View hidden files", then you would be able to navigate to the folder that I mentioned.
Or just replace %USERNAME% with your windows logon name and paste it into the address bar of the explorer.

Thanks, now that part is clear. Now where do I go for a reinstall?

if you want to install the latest dev channel version, try here

http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_chrome/

As for me, I prefer to download stuff from official sources
stable version, development version

This is a much better site for Downloads (imo) if your having problems with the official Google Chrome download ...

It has downloads for all the channels at the current level...

Thanks guys. Since i don't even know what a dev channel is, I'll have to stick with the official version.

The Dev channel is an official version ...
