    Suddenly, whenever I try to open Google Chrome, I am unable to, and this message will pop up:

    Restriction
         "This operation has been cancelled due to a restriction in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator."

    For one, I am the administrator of this computer, although it shares a network with my brother's and my father's PCs.

    While I tried to do whatever I could to open Chrome, uninstalling and reinstalling, setting Chrome as the default browser, etc, I was still unable to launch it. However, I can click on links that open up in a new Chrome window, so I can at least say that whatever it is is only preventing me from launching the application.

    In my search, I came across a solution that said to use Regedit and change some of the values of the keys from CHROMEhtml to just hmtl. I did that, and there was still no change in whether or not I could launch Google Chrome.

    This is not the first occurance. The first time, I was able to System Restore and fix it, and Google Chrome operated fine, but I've tried System Restore twice and it hasn't yet worked.

    I'm really frustrated by this. I strongly dislike using IE. This is also happening to Mozilla Firefox. If there's anything I've missed, please tell me.

    Thanks,
    MNeidig.

      Sorry I can't help you a lot but have you tried unstalling it and reinstalling it?

      If Firefox does it too it could be down to a faulty system, had any Windows Updates recently?  ;D
