Microsoft released Windows 7 Beta in the last week, it includes 32 bit and 64 bit version. I installed them on my computer today. The Google Chrome works fine in Windows 7 32 bit, but gets error in Windows 7 64 bit:

Thankyou for that solution. Chrome worked fine on Windows7 build 7000 but on 7100 it did not. You solved a very annoying problem for me. Now if you can just get my Hp printer going for me...
Thanks

i just utilized this fix, and it ultimately worked, but i had to unpin all my shortcuts and repin them where i wanted them, if you have problems, you may try that (as they become separate shortcuts once they're pinned or added to the desktop).

and i'm using build 7100, btw.
