Hello, Have you checked to see if you can download the older, working version and then disable the auto-update option? I do not use Google Chrome myself, so do not know if this particular functionality is available for sure, but it seems reasonable to assume the company would add it precisely for situations like this one.

The problem is it consumes all the RAM -- over 1 gb -- so all the memory swapping goes to the hard drive which spins constantly until something times out a few minutes later and the program crashes. In the meantime the T43 is unusable. On the Google Chrome site I can find ways only to disable Print Preview (which would be good were it to work) but no hints on how to configure its memory usage. Is there anything to be done on my T43 as a workaround for limiting program access to memory? Or do I just have to stop using Chrome? jeffrey race
