Hi Suzanne, this is the only fix I know as of right now. Uninstall-then re-install it. When prompted to install the adobe extension, decline it.

I can't get the plugins to come up. I get an error message that the page has moved.

I guess the fix does not work for everyone, especially if your running XP with most of your operating memory being used.

Sorry for the wait, I have been so busy with moderations on comments and answering questions by e-mail, its taking me a while. If you don't have the flash problem and its still crashing, re-install chrome and don't download the adobe extension. There could be other extension you have added that may be causing Google Chrome to crash as well. It's of course a processof elimination.
