Chrome works on XP but not on 7

I use portable Google Chrome on a network drive. The network has a mix of XP and Win7 computers. The program works fine on XP, but not on 7. I can open chrome and get a blank new tab screen, and I can open tabs and make bookmarks, but I can't load any webpages (or local pages) or even load the options page.

I'm using version 16.0.912.77

No Network Drives

Chrome doesn't work properly from network drives. Never has. Likely never will. You need to install Chrome to a local or removable drive. Or use a browser that doesn't suffer from these kinds of issues like Firefox, Opera or Maxthon.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Oh well

That's disappointing, particularly because I've never had any problems what-so-ever running it on a network drive under XP. Thanks for the answer.
