For some reason after shutting down the laptop overnight and re opening the following day Chrome will not open which is my normal browser.

FF and IE work normally.

Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but makes no difference. I can right click the Chrome Icon which pulls the last few pages viewed (which I thought wouldn't be there as unistall/reinstalled) and if I try to open a page the following message comes up on the laptop but without opening the Chrome browser....

C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

  Unspecified Error

Any suggestions please !!

I would suggest that you download Advanced System Care (Free version): http://www.iobit.com/ascdownload.html

Download the Free Version and don't install (custom install) any other tool or toolbar (you won't need those to solve your problem). This free software is very useful for cleaning your PC (registry, browser cache, etc.) and it also comes with an Uninstaller which works better than the one provided with Windows, as it will also better clean the registry settings related to the program that you want to uninstall (if you select this option).

Start with a "Quick Care" first (you may need to perform a "Deep Care" later, but it's probably unnecessary at the moment). Then, reboot your PC. Uninstall Chrome with Advanced System Care Uninstaller (and select the option to clean the registry settings too). Reboot your PC when this is done. Try to reinstall Chrome (or SRW Iron: http://www.srware.ne...srware_iron.exe, as it is a browser based on Chromium, just like Google Chrome, but without the spying parts!).

It should be enough to solve your problem.

If on windows 7, start, default programs then select chrome as your default browser.

Thanks indeed to GuyL.......

Not sure what you're getting at Rick....??

It is Windows 7 Premuim.  Are you saying uninstall again and reinstall selecting Chrome as Default browser on installation....??

Thought I had indeed done that but possibly not (am no techie)

Should I try your option first before running with GuyL's recommendation....??

Did you restart your computer? Also, if you have windows security, it's known to block chrome for some reason. If all else fail, install chrome beta and see if it resolves the error.

Remember to restart your computer.
