Fixing Google Chrome Crashes?

Question

Shockwave has been crashing CONSTANTLY for me for the past few weeks. I know this is a Google Chrome only problem as I have tried several other browsers and Flash doesnt crash on there. I have read several sites saying that disabling pepperflash will fix this, but when I disable it, Shockwave/Flash requiring sites become wonky. Several Shockwave/Flash games will have a buttons function placed in a completely wrong spot, making it impossible to click buttons because the function data is somewhere completely wrong, or even off the screen all together. I really dont want to stop using Chrome as every other browser Ive tried is so slow and even pages that dont require Shockwave/Flash take 30 seconds to a minute to load, so is there a way to fix this pepperflash crap, or at least rollback Chrome to before pepperflash was introduced?

Google chrome has some issues lately.



You have to uninstall it manually & again reinstall it after rebooting.



Make sure extensions are displayed for your files. Here's how:

Go to the Start menu > Control Panel. (Windows 8 users: Learn how to access the Control Panel)

Double-click Folder Options.

Click View.

Make sure the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox is deselected.

Right-click this link.

Click Save Link as and save the file name as remove.reg. (Select "All files" as your file type.)

Exit Google Chrome completely.

Double-click remove.reg on your desktop.

In the confirmation window, click Yes.

Click OK.



Enter the keyboard shortcut Windows key +E to open Windows Explorer.

In the Windows Explorer window that appears enter one of the following in the address bar:



Windows XP:%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google

Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google

Delete the Chrome folder in the directory that opens.



After reinstalling it, it will work fine.
