Comment #86 on issue 89 by [email protected]: Error 2 (net::ERR_FAILED): Unknown error. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=89
For anyone who has a Symantec Norton product installed, further research has found this to be a common factor amongst people with this error. I looked further and my own Norton 2009 service wasn't running. Symantec has a support page about this problem simply called "unable to open this norton product" which has recently been updated. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp? wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080801182027EN&environment= I believe Symantec has broken their own software before with automatic updates and not told users. So the vagueness of the support item and the spontaneous problems around Norton 2009 lead me to believe that an update has broken Norton 2009, and a symptom of that problem is this Chrome error. That said, I went into Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Services and started the Norton service manuall, which started the software, and has allowed Chrome to work again. So that could be a workaround for you. Why does only Chrome break when Norton 2009 breaks?
