Can't make Chrome my default Browser ?

[Jimbo]

I am evaluating Chrome on several boxes - but the ones with Vista does not
allow me to change the default browser to Chrome ?

Using IE7 and Chrome

Anybody else have this problem ?

TIA

JM

This is what I tried - but it does not allow me to do it - only on my 2
vista machines

Thanks

Check for any anti-spyware software that may be blocking the change.

Try not to make Chrome your default browser until they fix all the
security and privacy problems with it.

We shall alert the media.

That is the point - THIS does not work!

Maybe that is a good thing since chrome is still in Beta format.

Are they plugging into the Vista-standard "Default Programs" association
control panels found on the Start menu? That'd be the place to go for
one-stop shopping for associations.

It's pretty easy for applications to plug into this. =)
