How to hack Google Chrome and Run in Windows 7
|
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
Trust Windows how to come up with problems before they can give you a solution to a previous. The other day, I heard that there is a problem for the new Windows 7 beta users. They can not launch Google Chrome. We all know that Google Chrome is one of the fastest but simplest browsers available at this moment. Though it will be unfair to compare it with a veteran and an immensely popular Firefox right now, I am sure that Chrome in the coming years will be a browser alternative to most of us, if not a competitor. So, if you want to start it right away and find Windows 7's restriction a nuisance, then below is the trick.
1. Right Click on Google Chrome Icon on your desktop
2. Add “–in-process-plugins” (without quotation marks) after chrome.exe in Target field.
Take a look at image below to see what I am talking about:
3. Click Apply (or OK) to save changes.
4. Now start Google Chrome and Bingo!
So, I hope you can now run Google Chrome without much trouble? Write to me if you want to talk about it further. Happy surfing.
