Symantec Endpoint Protection Fixes

[digital0verdose]

Here are two fixes if you use Symantec Endpoint Protection, which at the moment, Chrome does not work with out of the box.

1. Right click on the Chrome icon and select properties and add "--no-sandbox" to the end of Target
("C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --no-sandbox)



2. Symantec has also posted a fix if you have access to the registry:

1) Back up the registry on an affected system.
2) Open the registry on the Agent system by entering regedit from a run prompt.
3) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SysPlant.
4) Open the Start DWORD.
5) Change the value to 4 to disable the drivers.
6) Reboot the system to commit the changes.

Did Google apply a fix somehow? I had the same issue yesterday, but this morning all is well? I didn't make any changes.

I don't think so. I just downloaded it this morning and it wouldn't work until I added the sandbox thing.

well - am not an expert at altering the hot keys, so guess i have a problem.. i can see all the folders till Services, but after that i cant see the file that needs the correction.

regarding the no sandbox thing, that too doesn't work - am literally on my way out from Chrome..
