I have no doubt that what you suggest is a permanent solution to the problem but requires some expertise.
However I have found that the problem only occurs when you try to delete Chrome, even using the correct uninstall method, as it acts like a virus and lines of instruction stay in your registry. A simple solution to the problem is to reinstall Chrome and then let it lie dormant on your computer. To make sure that I did not inadvertently start this programme I deleted any icons or shortcuts that referred to Chrome. Leaving it installed but unused seemed to please the Google Gods as on doing this my computer was instantly trouble free.

Google Cc Cleaner, it's very good, free, backs up registry, uninstalls problem programs, and generally cleans up your system. I've never had any problems with it and before retirement I worked in IT at a Uni campus and it was one of the major tools! We used. For safety though always back up any important data, the main problem with using any program like this is that you don't lose power while it's working, pretty rare BUT!!!

Anytime you can't uninstall a program, like the Chrome, go to the that program's site and they usually have an 'uninstall' tool you can download to get rid of it, works great. J Hello Peggy, I installed and then tried to uninstall the accursed Chrome and it caused me much trouble It does not completely uninstall but leaves some instructions on the registry which prevents you following links. If you try, you get the message 'you do not have authority to execute this command -- see your supervisor' (from memory). My temporary solution was a, reinstall and then leave it dormant which, though annoying, did work. A computer expert eventually opened my computer registry and deleted any reference to Chrome. My personal view is that Google should be prosecuted as writing a programme which is impossible to uninstall is really a Virus. john Marg Strong <[email protected]> wrote: I uninstalled Chrome but the problem is still there. If I could figure out how to backup my registry, I would use regedit and try get rid of all the pieces left. Otherwise I'll go back a week or so and try a system restore - sure hope that's the problem if I do that since I'll have to remember what programs I updated or installed.
