Strange Google Chrome Problem

<< < (2/4) > >>

MilesAhead:
@rgdot what OS do you use?

Generally these sites are pretty good for the respective OS:

for XP

Vista

http://www.vistax64.com/

Seven

http://www.sevenforums.com/

and for W8  ;)

http://www.eightforums.com/

edit: the Vista and Windows Seven forums both have a subforum for "browser and email" problems where you could ask about Chrome issues.

btw if the guy on the Chrome site hassles you, just tell him the reason you hate Chrome is it doesn't have a plugin that does what xxxyyyzzz in Firefox does.  That pisses them off big time!! :)

Uh oh.

I uninstalled IDM and have rebooted my computer but this problem is still rearing its head. I can't even get Twitter to load (blessing in disguise!).

I get the same kind of thing. A server response, some cookie info, and then some garbled text (gzipp'ed server response?).

Content-type is set to text/html... I don't know what's wrong. :(

rgdot:
@MilesAhead Thanx, it's happening on XP SP3 desktop

I will try your suggestion and say the thing you said next time too :)

MilesAhead:
@Deozaan do you have updates set as automatic?  Maybe Chrome browser updated to a version with a bug.  I'm using the Development channel.  I did get one version with some funky, so I turned off automatic update and installed an older version until the next update came out.  On development channel it's been ok since then. I'm using 6.0.466.0

(Funny but when I just checked the number, it tells me there's a new one! Oh oh!!)

edit: now I have 6.0.472.0 :)

Deozaan:
I have Chrome version 5.0.375.99.

I used to be getting the betas, but then I decided to try out the Dev for Chrome 6.0 previews and it was all messed up so I went back to the normal "stable" releases.
