Comment #28 on issue 3126 by cwt.tong: Open link in live messenger will launch chrome.exe but chrome window cannot show http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3126
1) Yes, Firefox, IE and Safari all works. 2) Live Messenger 2009, 3) Just any links, www.google.com, http://www.google.com, https://www.gmail.com, I entered these links and send in the conversation window, these text will turns blue and become a hyperlink, then I just click on it.) 4) I just tried this step, it also doesn't work. Actually, from my observation, it is not the problem that it doesn't open link with Chrome / Chromium. If you check back the "What happens instead?" part of this issue sent by me, I actually described that "chrome.exe" did appears in Task Manager. And the status bar actually temporarily show up a while then disappear, the reason for the disappearance of the status bar may be due to the finish loading of the page. This strange behaviour looks more like that chrome cannot draw the window and the content webpage successfully (except the status bar). I recently discovered another behaviour. When I first click the link, no window appears but chrome.exe is already launched, so when I click the link AGAIN, the chrome window will appear with two tabs in it, so let me list the steps. 1) Chrome / Chromium is set as the default browser 2) Ensure that there are no any chrome window opening, no chrome.exe running 3) Open a live messenger conversation window, with a hyperlink in the chat history (submit one if you dun have) 4) Click on the link 5) Chrome.exe is launched, status bar temporarily appear due to page loading, but no chrome window appears (Step 1 to 5 is actually the issue I submitted here) 6) Go back to the conversation window, click on the same hyperlink or another hyperlink in the conversation window 7) Chrome window appears, with two tabs, one tab is the one launched in step 4, another one is the link in step 6. Note that when step 1, if there are chrome window showing on the desktop, problems in step 5 cannot be reproduced. As I discovered this behaviour, it can actually be a temporarily solution for me to use chrome as the default browser, just by clicking the link two times when there is no chrome running. I understand that it is difficult for you to fix a problem that could not be reproduced, as this bug is no longer preventing me to use chrome as the default browser, you may consider this as a less urgent bug fix.
