marjanHAK,

Your solution sounds good if there is a virus, I’m ok with computers, but not crazy about messing with programing editing. As a matter of fact I don’t know where to go into system from the “failed to initialize” screen. What the first step?

I had same error but after some dinging i find other solution, there is version of virus that insert code in Chrome file and with that code visit web pages and download other viruses and blocking work of Chrome. Trick is to go in Chrome install folder example C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\1.0.154.53\Resources\Inspector ( make backup copy of Inspector file) and open inspector document with notepad and delete rows that have …….jl.chura.pl……….. (try typing ura in notepad search because virus puts @%& or something else betvin c and ura ) in my case i had 5 rows of that code and they were the same that is how you can recognize or maybe other version like goasi.cn Last thing of good Chrome code is …..class=”status-bar-item”> it is end of 5 row, everything after that you can delete. When you done click save. Reopen after that and if code is back you did not delete all try with search an delete what is left. I repeat that this is solution if virus mess up with your Chrome code.

Hope it will help somebody.

I tried with –no-sandbox but then it says that there is no such target
PS i also think my chrome beta is installed in the wrong place since it has this path “C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\”
I think most people have installed it somewhere else eg, Program Files. Am i right? I need help!

Sandboxing is a special feature in Google chrome, to prevent malware from installing itself onto computer/PC.It also prevents what happens in one tab from affecting the other tabs i.e each tab runs as a seperate process and for each of these processes, all the rights have been stripped.

Hence, each of these processes are isolated and the websites/web applications you run via these processes can compute but they cannot write files to your hard drive or read files from sensitive areas like your documents or desktop.

From the above, it is clear that sandboxing has lots of goodness and one would not like to loose this feature of google chrome. However note that sandboxing is only an additional security feature in google.

What is sandbox anyway?

For some reason my comment changed when it was submitted. The –no-sandbox option should have two hyphens at the start and one in the middle like:

HYPHEN,HYPHEN,no,HYPHEN,sandbox

Hey all, if -no-sandbox doesn’t work, try –no-sandbox

Worked for me
