Where did you download the ChromiumOS from? Remember some of the Chromium's builds don't work properly (or don't work at all) on some specific laptops/desktops due to compability issues.

I recommend Hexxeh's Vanilla Build. If that doesn't work too, try Hexxeh's Flow Build (older build).

i have the vanilla build. please tell me the solution!!!

Try downloading a couple of days older Vanilla Build. If that doesn't work too. Then please download the older Flow build instead.

If that doesn't work too, try Hexxeh's Flow Build (older build).

@sycgeek, where do u live in lko? I used to live in mahanagar until last year. Will do so tommorow. If i install flow, will it be updated?

Flow isn't being updated nowadays, you may not have a good experience with it because it's interface is very very sluggish, forget about using flash-based websites.

Vanilla is one of the most famous Chromium build nowadays, but it is not finished yet and still being developed, so there's a high chance that it may not work in your laptop (like it didn't work on my desktop).

@sycgeek, where do u live in lko?
