[QUOTE="Rebsiot, post: 280229, member: 29245"] I just dealt with this on my computer... I didn't figure it out until i uninstalled chrome and a few other things, cleared out a few odd programs in program files that weren't listed in the control panel, then looked at the programs pinned to my taskbar. The chrome icon was still there...when I clicked it it said "chromelauncher.exe" no longer exists. I didn't look where the file was, but I'll check on my wife's laptop and see where it is on there. This launcher is what is overlaying chrome. and why it is only Chrome and not IE or FF. So for a novice, uninstall chrome -> *remove the chrome shortcuts by right clicking and unpinning/deleting" -> reinstall chrome. [/QUOTE]
