Why do u feel that way? The only thing I hate about chrome is the lack of support for pdf viewers other than adobe. Otherwise it is a billion times better than firefox or IE. Some plus points for chrome: it loads faster, web pages open up faster, it is lightweight and the best feature is the auto fill feature which is much better than the one provided by firefox.
Also I'd like to add, some users had complaints that certain web pages only open in IE and not in chrome. Well I don't know if u r aware of this (maybe I may sound dumb) but there is a plugin in chrome which allows u to open IE within chrome and u can view those pages.

Atleast for me, it has crashed more times than IE8 while I browse streaming sites
which means that the most plugins and Chrome doesnt go well together...
This has happened again when I had formatted the machine and re-installed Chrome.
Another setback is that, Chrome is not able to handle Secure transactions (Bank/CC) correctly... I had a very bad time due to that...

I wouldn't call Chrome lightweight. It takes up much more memory than Firefox. I have 4 addons in Chrome, and 6 addons in Firefox. I just opened 5 (same) websites in both Chrome and Firefox. Chrome is taking 154 MB memory, while Firefox is taking 85 MB memory.
IMO, Chrome needs to do some major improvements for me to consider it as a main / second main browser. (My current main browser is Opera and secondary is Firefox). I don't see that happening till at least 2 or 3 major releases, i.e. Chrome 6 or 7.

To disable Adobe plugin in Chrome,
Click on the Wrench icon
Go to options->Under the Hood->Content Settings->Plugins->Disable individual plugins

and btw the thread rocks
There is no option for "disable individual plugins". I think u r using an older version of chrome. But don't worry I am planning to format my laptop and see if it works then.

Formatting to solve a bug in a software?
hey clown, did I say I was formatting to fix a bug? Don't assume things with that peanut sized brain of urs. I formatted my laptop coz I was trying to downgrade from vista to xp but I reverted back to vista coz I cudn't find audio drivers for xp.

Till the end I could not understand why wouldn't he uninstall Adobe reader and why doesn't he understand that it isn't chrome that has included Adobe reader in the browser? He doesn't even know that it is a plugin which installed while installing adobe reader & doesn't come bundled with chrome. I wonder why he didn't face the problem with any other browser, after all, chrome isn't decades old. Anyway, nice thread, never seen a more arrogant person who knows nothing. I thought the whole world knew that Documents & settings had been renamed users in Vista & 7.
well I had to create a new id and come back. I understand I said some things which I shouldn't have but I felt so frustrated with the responses I got. And secondly everyone here is just jumping to conclusions and are hell bent on calling me a noob when they themselves don't understand the issue. I tried my best at explaining the issue but it seems it's human nature to always assume the worst and point fingers at others. I never said that adobe comes bundled with chrome. If u do some research on the internet u will find that chrome has adobe as the default pdf viewer and that it is very complicated to get things changed. There was some licensing issues with foxit and hence they were forced to provide support for adobe only. But what I don't understand is why they didn't provide some alternate solutions to allow users to change their default pdf viewer in chrome. I tried searching the internet for this issue and I cud only find help with regards to xp. As I was using vista I cudn't get the exact path settings and hence cudn't fix the issue. That's why I posted here but everyone here is only interested in calling me a noob rather than helping me fix the issue. Very few actually provided any good solutions but only were blabbering nonsense. But there is no reason to worry now as I have switched over to xp from vista for some entirely different issue and can easily use the firefox plugin for foxit on chrome. This plugin for some reason works well on xp unlike in vista. I hope all doubts are cleared and ppl can stop calling me a noob.

OK, so now you know that it isn't macho or anything to be arrogant. People called you a noob not because you didn't know about computers but because you didn't know how to communicate on forums. But now that you have returned, just satisfy one curiosity of mine, did you ever try uninstalling adobe reader just to see if it works.

I'm not gonna explain why everyone wrote what they wrote, or why you were banned. I would suggest you refrain from using this duplicate ID to post on the forum. If you continue to do so, it will lead to permanent banning of both IDs as well as any other ID you may create.
Anyway, your problem is solved, hence, I am closing this thread.

Although kalpik closed the thread, Im just posting my explanation in case anyone felt that I should do the same. You weren't banned because of the question, you were banned because of the way you presented it. There was no reason to start the thread title out in curses and neither curse in the thread as well.
Since other chrome users here might have the same issue here are your viable work arounds.
1. Uninstall Adobe Reader.
2. Install the plugins as mentioned above.
3. Make sure you have the Display in browser option checked or unchecked in the relevant program.
4. Although the op states that Vista doesn't seem to work for him it seems to work for a large variety of users who followed any of the above.
5. Last but not least check out Google Chromes site for relevant information. There are like 100 threads with the same issue running.
