When this problem occurs, how many programs or windows do you have open? Also, how much ram is installed on your system? HTH, Rick Justice "Tomorrow's another day, another way!" "and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!"

Hi Tom,
No, you're not missing anything. I've ran
the Realtech driver on one of our computers and it didn't install the
enhancements or equalizer package but, it did make Realtech sound better.
The Enhancement page would be before the Advanced page in the Control + Tab

Hi Brian,
Maybe it's because I opened it incorrectly, but the

I did find the bookmark option and used it

What I did was to do control + O and pasted in a

That seemed to work, other than no other options

Hi Tom,
Yes there is. Try the
following:
1. From the desktop press, Windows key + R, to
open the Run dialogue and type in, control panel, and press enter.
2. Press the letter, S, to get to, Sound link,
and press enter.
3. You should be on the, Playback page, so press
the spacebar on the Realtech option to make sure it's selected, now tab to,
properties, and press enter.
4. Now, Control + Tab, to the, Enhancements
page. If the environment choices are there you should be in a list of 6
checkboxes. The 1st one being Environment which should be checked and if
it isn't then the environment choices aren't activated or don't exist. If
it's there, but not checked,check this box and tab 1 time. You should be
in a list of different sound effects. Arrow up / down and as you go from
one to another you should hear the differences. I don't like any
reverberation so I use the living room sound effect. After you make your
choice tab to, Okay, press the spacebar and you will be back on the, properties
button, so tab to, Okay, and press enter to save and close. If you still
have my number you can call.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers! I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

I’d almost like to try to do that before uninstalling and re-installing everything, since the problem will likely recur with future updates.
If not, I’ll certainly do as you suggest.

Hi Holger and Casey,
No, Canary installs as a totally different browser, at least it did on my Windows 7 computer. Also, it shows up in Control Panel / Program and Features as a different installation. I have both Google Chrome Canary and Google Chrome on my desktop and they run as 2 separate browsers.

Hi so then once you install the new google then you can still run the old one or delete it or does it remove the old google chrome when you install the new one? So do you use this new google as your default browser or what do you use for that?
