    chrome preference issues
    « on: May 17, 2012, 02:30:01 PM »
    I am currently running Google chrome. But for some reason i do not understand it will not save the preferred setting. Every time i close out the window and then open a new one, it will go back to the default settings, with no home page. i am not sure if there is something i have done or if this is a problem with chrome. I recently went through all the steps needed to clean up my system with the assistance of Superdave, but the same problem persists. Now i am wondering if i should just go back to Firefox, or back to IE. Any assistance with this would be appreciated.

    When changing home page for google chrome settings - Appearance - Change(home page) - Checkmark open this page : ex. www.computerhope.com. The only other way is reinstalling another fresh download of chrome.

      downloaded a new version of Google chrome. But it still wont save my settings. i set the home page by tools, settings, appearance, check the show home button page,change it to the preferred home page i want. but one i close the window and reopen it, i get the same blank new tab. Am i required to log into my Google account for this to work the way i want it to?? because that seems a lil odd.

      Ok, after relaunching google chrome which I've lately not been using also shows a different page by showing thumbnails of frequently visited sites or suggestions. I went again to Settings - On Startup - dot marked open a specific page or set of pages entered http://your specific website then hit OK. Relaunch Google Chrome. Did this twice now already and my desired home page is now launching without a glitch. :)
