  • Refurb 710 Chromebook, Google Chrome OS missing or damaged.

    I just picked up one of Groupon, eventually the post office today.  I couldn't wait to turn on a play with it, but to my surprise I am met with a screen that says "Google Chrome OS is missing or damaged.  I tried a recovery after the instuctions on the help page of Google Chrome OS, but I can't seem to do anything.  I rebooted, removed the battery, put in the recovery disk... nothing seems to move.  In my search for a solution, I came across a YouTube by Acer on the removal of the Panel to disconnect and reconect a wire on the inside that will fix the problem... but I am skeptical to do this, because this requires to remove a sticker that says that the warranty will be void.  Even if the video claims it won't.  Suggestions?

  • Can cause of Google Chrome that any general Windows questions as screen freeze or startup problems? Thank you.

    Recently installed Google Chrome and started to add some PC problems. This could be a coincidence, but I was wondering if the Chrome can somehow interfere with the operation of Windows. Thank you for any light on the topic.

    Hi Anoop,

    Thanks for your reply. I checked the links you recommended, but did not find anything of note when I checked the logs events or performance. (I can't seek enough carefully.)

    Fortunately, the problem disappeared in the past few days and he can not Google Chrome to what has caused the occasional screen freezes. To answer your questions, Frost moved not just with Google Chrome, there is no error message and I have not recently updated the latest drivers.

    In any case, at the moment seems to agree, and if a conflict between Windows and the Chrome is not a good experience then it's probably just a coincidence that I met problems with my shortly after its installation.

    Once again, thank you for your help.

  • Google Chrome does not open on my desktop

    Name of product: notebook PC HP ENVY 15 TS

    Product number: E7Z34UA #ABA

    8.1 Windows 64-bit

    When in my office, if I click on the Google Chrome icon on the taskbar, the site is displayed in a screen separated by itself instead of on my desk. On this separate screen in the lower left corner there are two icons: icon Apps and Google Chrome icon. In Vista, the Google Chrome would display the site on my desktop and I could create a shortcut to the Web site simply by dragging the address of my office. With this split screen, I can't create a shortcut to the Web site.

    Thanks for the solution. It worked.

    It is interesting that the 3rd screen is called a modern user interface by Microsoft.

  • Problem with icon of the taskbar with Google Chrome 32

    Hello world

    I have a problem when I try to Google Chrome 32 thinapp. I did the capture with WinXP using Thinapp 5.0. The application works very well, but I only have one problem. The icon of the Chrome in Windows 7 taskbar does not work. Instead, I see the icon included in the screenshot. If Chrome is installed locally on the computer, it works. I tried to capture on a Win7 32 and 64 bit and it gives the same problem. Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?

    Thank you

    Screenshot.jpg

    Google Chrome 34 and 35 are still showing the same behavior...

    Do this test:

    -Launch Chrome packed

    -Right click on the icon 'Virgin '.

    -Right click on "Google Chrome" and select "Properties".

    -Click on "Change icon" and note the error message: Windows cannot find the file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Google Profile.ico

    This file exists in the package, and if you copy the 'Google' Profile.ico in the capture folder in this location in the native environment, it works!

    As you probably notice, I did it "BOLD" the word "Windows". If you use ProcMon to troubleshoot the behavior and search for "Google Profile.ico", you will see that the process "Explorer.exe" returns "PATH_NOT_FOUND". It is normal, because "Explorer.exe" does not and cannot run in the virtual environment.

    Another solution to the file manually on the background, would be to rename the '% Local Appdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default' '% Local Appdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default.old '.

    Then create a new folder "Default", with a MERGED insulation.

    Once the package is rebuilt, it should work fine. Google Chrome checks if that file exists for this user and if not, recreate. With isolation being MERGED, it creates in the user profile.

    For the Flash bit that does not work, did you follow that Ko... ?

  • Live Preview is open on the tab of Google Chrome, but Chrome is missing from their user profile.

    Hello

    So, to cut a long story short. I have Google Chrome Google Chrome & m32 Canary installed on my desktop.

    I tried to test "Live Preview" and found that when you click on the 'light' bolt I would be presented with a new window of Google Chrome Canary, and its associated profile (extensions and everything) would be absent.
    Preview live would work for a few seconds, until what I was greeted with this error message:

    edge_code_cc_livepreview_error.PNG

    I thought it was obviously a problem with edge Code CC opens the wrong browser as my default browser is Google Chrome (stable M32); not to mention the Canary Islands can only be activated in the default browser.

    So, besides persual I found this convenient link on the github media: https://github.com/Adobe/brackets/wiki/troubleshooting#wiki-check-Windows-registry

    Check the registry to see what settings have been applied, I found that the Canaries (SxS) has been defined as the default chrome.exe launcher?

    chrome_path_original.PNG

    As well, this is obviously not "normal." and if it is a bug on the behalf of the chrome team, I have no idea, but I changed the default paths to Google Chrome Stable (M32)

    chrome_path_reset.PNG

    Back on Board Code CC, I went and attempted to open the default get startred with the live preview html file. It works as expected and I don't get the error previous edge Code CC threw on the impossibility to load the development page - except that it opens a tab of Google Chrome Stable (M32) skeleton, which is missing from its partner (singular only) user profile. The other matter outside the missing user profile; is that I get now that Google Chrome Stable (M32) error:

    chrome_edge_code_cc_livepreview.PNG

    Help with this bug would be greatly appreciated.

    Media uses a custom at the launch of Chrome profile so that it is not inconsistent with all the other things that you can run in Chrome.

    The bad news is that you will need to install all the extensions you want to use with the media in the new custom profile. The good news is that it is all being cached, but only do it once.

    To find the cache for this profile, use help > show the Extensions folder and then go up 1 level to the media folder. Custom profile data is stored in the live dev-profile folder.

    Hope this helps,
