SOURCE: i didn't like google chrome

I've never used Google Chrome but believe if you uninstall Yahoo Messenger. Then re-download and reinstall it(Yahoo Messenger) that it should remedy your problem since Google Chrome is now removed.

SOURCE: Google Chrome basically wont work.

You need to make sure you've fully downloaded it.
Just to make sure here's the link where I recently downloaded it from - http://www.google.com/chrome
Download it after you've done that restart your computer. Just to be sure it's fully downloaded. Once you've restarted your computer and logged back in.....

  1. Simply click on "start"
  2. Then click on "Control Panel"
  3. Once your on control panel go onto "network and internet"
  4. Then click on "internet options"
  5. Then on the tab named "programs"
  6. Then on the internet programs section at the bottom click "set programs"
  7. A new window should open called "default programs"
  8. Click on the top option "set your default programs" (It should take a while to load)
  9. Click on "Google Chrome" If it appears. If it doesn't appear don't worry. It'll still be the same.
  10. Open your "google chrome" browser up. (even if it doesn't work(but make sure your laptop or computer is connected to the internet))
  11. Click on the tools option on the page which is the spanner icon at the top right of the page.
  12. Click on options (eleventh option down)
  13. At the bottom of the Google Chrome Options page they should be a buttom saying "Make google chrome my default browser" Click on that.
  14. Keep on that page click on the tab called "under the bonnet"
  15. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, make sure the bottom options on "check for sever certificate revocation"

It then should work
Hope I helped Dr Reed

SOURCE: In google chrome when I open the browser, it opens to MSN like I ask it to, but then it goes one step further and opens to search mode of MSN rather than stopping on the MSN home page.

I want google not yahoo as my browser
It depends on what kind of browser you are using. Simplest solution is to download Google Chrome (https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/). This allows you to do many nice things, such as search from the address bar using google. Google is also the default home page.

5. Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
6. Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.

I want to make Google my default browser
If you're using Internet Explorer browser, click on theTools (menu item) ... and at the bottom of the drop-down window, click on "Internet Options". A (smaller) window will open, showing under the General (tab) ... your current home page. Simply edit (or add) into that (top HOME PAGE) window,www.google.com then, click on APPLY at the bottom right corner.

Now when you open your Internet Explorer (browser), it will go directly to google.com.

If you use the Mozilla Firefox browser, you'll want to click on the "Tools" menu item. A (smaller) "OPTIONS" window will open. Click on "General" and you will see the (current) STARUP Home Page URL address. Simply add/replace that with www.google.com and click on OK.

Now when you open your Mozilla Firefox (browser), it will go directly to google.com.

Google chrome is not opening any page at all what to do?????
Dear User,

This issue comes due to your cache folder. You haven't clear your Google Chrome browser's cache for long time and that's why Google Chrome will not load any web pages. In this case you have to clear your Google Chrome browser's cache files to fix this problem. After clearing cache of your Google Chrome browser you will not get any issue.
