Anyone know why chrome keeps instantly crashing on my laptop? Internet explorer works fine but not chrome. Only started doing it today and if I do search in google for the problem the response is beyond my obvious limited skills can I just uninstall and re- install?

Take it off and just use standard Google its easier m8.

Go to settings and delete browsing history "since the beginning of time" can often help.

my laptop gets hump and says memory full sometimes and a restart clears it, its not the memory of laptop but the internet memory as it crashes and closes all the time.

Two options, Download CCleaner and run the cleaner ( dont analyze, just Run Cleaner ). The go the registry tab and scan for issues, Don't be suprised if you see 50+ registry keys with issues. Just make sure all are select, press Fix selected issues. If it asks if you want to backup, say no and delete all If that fails, reinstall chrome!

Start > Control Panel > Programs & Features.

find Chrome, Click it, Uninstall.

Thanks Matt, Alan & Chad will give it a try tomorrow, is ccleaner just a free thing I will find if I type it into normal Google browser? (just pretend your talking to a 3 year old)

Thanks for all your help it was a conflict with my antivirus firewall after an update (McAfee) still hasn't been resolved but I am now using Mozilla Firefox as my default browser with no issues so that will do me!

we run mcafee mike but if used in conjunction with windows updates as well it can slow your computer right down - but pleased you've sorted it

I personally wouldn't touch mcafee. Microsoft security essentials works 100 times better

Holy cow, how long does it take to boot? Not many more resource hungry programs than Norton.
