    Has anyone used the new ccleaner version that came out today and cleaned out chrome. I recommend not doing it. It will mess up your frames on certain pages like YouTube and others. Does anyone know whats causing this or a fix?

    Works fine for me. Are you using Dev updates? Maybe that could be the problem.

    No I am not. It happened on both my pc's XP and Vista. You installed the new Ccleaner and cleaned it up and your Chrome displays every page correctly? Some pages work like the forum but some others don't.

    Correct, no rendering problems at all. Using the most updated version of CCleaner and all the Chrome cleanup options are checked.

    Also check your encoding settings, and try checking and/or unchecking auto detect. If that doesn't help then try to manual select. Mines is on Western ISO 8859-1

    Don't use Chrome until it is ready for prime time?

    Hi McGrady. I just registered to help you out here. I got the same problem, but after I'd removed my browser history in Google Chrome everything worked fine again :)

    ^^ my colleague did the same just now. Though not because he knew it was one solution, but he was messing around to see what would work, and then figured clearing the browser history seemes to work for him.... check it out.

    Lol. That's the only thing I didn't want cleaned. But looks like I have to do that in order for pages to render correctly. Oof. Thanks guys.

    EDIT: Yup, that was the culprit. All is good now.

    I found that when CCleaner supposedly cleans your Chrome cache, youtube, wikipedia and many other sites become screwed up. I believe this is because chrome's cache is a bit protective.

    My solution is to clear ONLY your cache in chrome. To do this, click the wrench > Clear Browsing Data and check ONLY Empty Cache. If sites are not fixed by then, try clearing browser history, then download history then finally bookmarks. To prevent this, don't use CCleaner to clear your cache (and perhaps other things) until this problem is fixed.

    CCleaner ver: 2.12.660
    Chrome ver: 0.2.149.30

    Whoa, I thought it was my registry tweaks screwing things up lol.
    Well, it probably was both.

    Alright I've got a fix for Window XP...just deletes all your settings, cookies, etc.
    Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\"Replace with your Username- with no quotes"\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\
    And delete the "User Data" folder.
    Fix for Vista in a bit.
    Remember to uncheck any Chrome related settings in CCleaner.

    EDIT: Fix for Vista:
    Navigate to C:\Users\"Replace with your Username- with no quotes"\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\
    And delete the "User Data" folder.
    And same as above, uncheck any Chrome settings in CCleaner

    This is the problem with betas, just wait for the stable version. It reminds me of the Adobe beta suite, people go crazy with betas.

    It's not a Chrome problem.
    It's with CCleaner.
    And besides, Chrome will be in RC in 15 years judging my gmail.
