Getting Google Chrome To Run On A 64-Bit Version Of Microsoft Windows 7

This is something interesting I ran into today. Downloaded Google Chrome, installed it and ran it. Try and browse to a URL and I get:

Hmm not good. Nothing seems to work. Doing some searching around I find that quite a few users have been having the similar problem. Apparently this is an issue with Google Chrome and the 64-bit version of Windows 7. A few people have provided some workarounds but I could seem to get these to work.

One workaround is to add the –in-process-plugins parameter after the chrome.exe execution. I tried this but no luck. More information about this here: http://www.blogsdna.com/1900/… What work for me was to uninstall Google Chrome. Head over to http://www.google.com/intl/… and grab the latest beta version of Google Chrome.

Install this beta version and Google Chrome works wonders again!

So head over to http://www.google.com/intl/… and grab the latest version if you are having these problems.
