    I noticed that a few people can use chrome with Windows 7. I can't, and I have no idea why. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry, I haven't installed Chrome yet but you could try Compatibility Mode.

    If you could mention a specific problem or error message that would be very helpful and could narrow the problems down.

    Chrome worked just fine for me with not tweaking or anything like that. Win 7 32-bit.

    Google Chrome does not work in Win7 x64 for the moment. Either an update to 7 or chrome will fix this. Very sad. Fox is out. Chrome is in. If it only had addons...

    Well, that's annoying, considering I have the x64 edition.

    *sigh*

    Make Google Chrome Work on Windows7 64 Bit

    Right Click on the Google Chrome Shortcut Icon
    Click on Properties and Select the Shortcut Tab From the Properties Window
    In the Target Field put –in-process-plugins right after chrome.exe

    Click On Apply to save the changes and Then Click on OK to close the window
    Now Open Google Chrome It would work on your Windows 7 64 Bit.
