Windows Vista / Google Chrome Browser closes immediately after opening. SOLUTION : Delete CyberLink YouCam software!
as these things go, what a swine to diagnose.
Father in law called me on Sunday to say his Windows Vista SP2 laptop would no longer open Chrome browser without it just closing again almost immediately.
A quick search gave me this thread

looks tempting but its windows 7!
I went through a few things listed
no sandbox
disable gpu
create new profile etc
but none had any effect.
I also installed Chrome beta but no joy either.
Funnily if I used compatibility mode for XP Chrome remained open but didnt work for settings or web page retrieval !
In the end I finally came across this

uninstalled CyberLink YouCam via Control Panael, restart then
SUCCESS! unbelievably a recent auto update of Chrome doesnt play nice with CyberLink YouCam.(installed back when the PC was built)
I have no use for the YouCam software, so I'm at a loss if you need to keep it (maybe they have an update on their site but I havent checked,), but for me I only care about Chrome.
Go figure.
EDIT : i also found this thread. easy when you have the right search terms (i.e. cyberlink youcam ;-) )
