chrome.exe - Corrupt File
I just got home from a night in Minnesota, come home, boot up the PC, open up Google Chrome. It opens up, but doesn't load anything. I get this message:
The file or directory C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility.
I have done this so far:
- Reinstall Google Chrome
- Run "Chkdsk" and didn't work.
- Scanned the file with multiple programs. Nothing.
- Tried deleting the file. Nothing.
This is the first problem I have had with Chrome. Any help guys?

Re: chrome.exe - Corrupt File
Try running this under a different windows profile see if the error re-occurs.. Sounds like some type of session data got corrupted and just needs to be removed.
(could clear out all the contents of Google\Chrome folder under the application data if issue goes away under another profile)
Also what happens when you go to a secure site? (like https:\\mail.google.com\ )Last edited by GReYVee; 07-22-10 at 03:16 PM.

Sometimes uninstalling Chrome is not enough. Uninstall it, then go to
C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Local On Vista/W7 or
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\ on XP
Then delete the Google folder.
After you do that, I'd recommend running something like CCleaner to clean up your HD and registry. Once that runs clean, then reinstall Chrome.Last edited by WileECyte; 07-23-10 at 01:38 PM.
