= Issues =
== No sound from YouTube ==
When viewing flash player videos from YouTube and/or similar sites, no sound can be heard. To fix this issue follow these steps:
<ol>
<li>In a new tab, go to chrome://plugins/</li>
<li>Click on +Details</li>
<li>Scroll down until you see Flash</li>
<li>Disable all the flash player plugins, except the one with Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_3_300_268.dll</li>
<li>Restart Chrome</li>
</ol>

== Spell checker not working ==
Spell checker does not underline incorrect spellings of words in Google Chrome. To fix this issue, follow these steps:
<ol>
<li>Open Google chrome and go to the Settings</li>
<li>Click Show advanced settings...</li>
<li>Under Privacy uncheck ''Use a web service to help resolve spelling errors''</li>
<li>Restart Chrome</li>
</ol>

== YouTube autoplay/large player sometimes not working ==
For no odd reason the autoplay (Such as a playlist) and large player doesn't work. Changing quality, as well as fullscreen does work.

''No currently known solutions''

== Google Chrome Slowing Down ==
The most common reason for this would be because you have too many plugins and/or extensions running and occasionally from too much browsing history.

'''Disabling Plugins'''
<ol>
<li>Navigate to chrome://plugins
<li>Click "Disable" on any plugins you don't ''need''.
</ol>
'''Disable Extensions'''
<ol>
<li>If your extensions are on your Chrome address bar, right-click them and select "Disable".
<li>You can also disable them from a "New Tab Page" using the same method.
<li>Alternatively, if you click the ''Settings'' (wrench) button, and go to Tools > Extensions, you can disable them from here too.
</ol>
'''Clear Browsing History'''
If the above two haven't worked, you could also clear your browsing history.
<ol>
<li>Click on the ''Settings'' (wrench) button and go Tools > Clear browsing data...
<li>You can then choose how much you want to delete from here.
</ol>

Black Screen of Death

2012-11-17T12:40:25Z

HandyMan: added category

== '''Issues''' ==

Windows loads into a blank screen after the "Starting Windows" screen with a mouse cursor that can be moved around. No key combinations or clicks result in anything happening. Only affects Normal Mode.

1. Load into Safe Mode if possible. 
2. Go into Device Manager and disable the graphics drivers. 
3. See if Windows will load in normal mode, if it does then the problem lies with the graphics driver. If it doesn't load and still has the same symptoms then attempt the solutions found in this article: [http://www.pcworld.com/article/183440/windows_black_screen_death.html Windows Black Screen of Death] 
4. Find a new driver, either a more recent one or maybe even a previous version. If a new driver doesn't fix the solution then you can keep the generic driver (keep the graphics driver disabled) as an option for the user. Worst come to worst, try re-installing Windows to fix the issue.
