Chrome won't run, can't get to settings, still in Task Mgr after closing. Frustrated
All of a sudden, for no reason at all, on a relative's computer for whom I am tech support (joy), Chrome has stopped running. Specifically,

a) Click on Chrome icon, the browser open but it just hangs connecting to the home page forever. Eventually I'll get a Chrome popup asking if I want to kill or wait.

b) When I close the browser, Chrome process (one instance of ~50K) is still running in Task Manager.

c) I thought that LAN/proxy settings might have gotten ticked wrong somehow, but I can't get to Chrome settings either.

d) Trying to open an Incognito window, same thing (someone on the the Googles suggested this)

e) I am stumped. Have spent a couple of hours searching and just don't know what to do.

f) I temporarily disabled the firewall (Norton Internet Security) and that made no difference.

Thinkpad x220, Win 7 Professional.

I'd love some help. Thank you!
