If you can open Google Chrome you can go to the bookmarks and drag those to a new folder or your desktop. This will create a icon and when you click on it, it will open your favorites.
OR

  1. Click the wrench icon Hi - My AVG scanner - chrome_toolsmenu.gif on the browser toolbar. Mac users: If you don't see the wrench icon, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and clickBookmarks.
  2. Select Bookmark manager.
  3. Drag the favorites into new folder or desktop.

If the browser still starts up, in spite of AVG's report, you can export your bookmarks to an HTML file:

  • Click the wrench in the toolbar.
  • Select Bookmarks
  • Select Organize
  • Select Export
  • Choose a location to save the file to.
Now you're free to uninstall the browser, reinstall the latest version, and import your bookmarks, using almost exactly the same routine as above, except you select Import, instead of Export.

Here's Google's page about it.

Remove bookmarks

The bookmarks bar contains all your bookmarks and bookmark folders created in Google Chrome. You can dock the bar directly underneath the address bar at the top of the browser window for easy access to your favorite sites.

Dock the bookmarks bar

  1. Click the Chrome menu snp_9721c573e41777fba43e1498ad084e3b160c_2696434_en_v2 on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Bookmarks.
  3. Select Always show bookmarks bar.
You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows and Chrome OS) and Command-Shift-B (Mac) to toggle the bar on and off.

Hide or undock the bookmarks bar

Right-click (or control-click on a Mac) the bookmarks bar and deselect Always show bookmarks bar. When the bookmarks bar is undocked, you can always find it at the top of the New Tab page.

Setup Menu

If you can't remember where you filed that one bookmark, search for it directly from the address bar. Type the name of the bookmark and look for the [STAR] icon next to the results that appear, which indicates matches from your bookmarks.
You can also see all your bookmarks in 3 places:
  • Bookmarks bar: The bar is docked under your address bar by default for easy access. If you don't see it, you can find it by opening a new tab. To toggle the display of the bar, just press Ctrl+Shift+B
  • Bookmarks menu: Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar and select Bookmarks.
  • Bookmark manager: The bookmark manager makes it easy for you to organize bookmarks. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar and go to Bookmarks > Bookmark manager.
Use bookmark folders to keep your bookmarks organized. To create a folder, right-click the bookmarks bar and select Add folder.
Hope this helps!

How can I transfer my bookmarks to a new computer?

The simplest method to transfer bookmarks between computers is by "signing in" to Chrome on the first computer. All of your Chrome browser data and preferences (including bookmarks) will be saved into your Google account, and that will be available whenever you sign in again on any other computer.

Here's how to sign in: In the Chrome web browser, click on the wrench icon (upper right corner), then select "Sign in to Chrome".

1_1_2012_2_46_16_am.gif
Then enter your Google account user name and password.

All of your Chrome bookmarks, extensions and other preferences will then be saved into your Google account online.

Then on your new computer, install the Chrome browser, and again "sign on" with the same Google account. Your Chrome bookmarks, extensions and other preferences will be retrieved from your Google account.

Alternatively, you can export your bookmarks from the Chrome browser on the old computer. Click on the wrench icon, select "Bookmark manager"; then select Organize > Export bookmarks. That will generate an HTML file. Copy that file to the new computer (e.g., by using a flash drive). Then on the new computer, install the Chrome browser, select "Bookmark manager"; then select Organize > Import bookmarks.

Google Chrome keeps changing the size of my pages, so I had to uninstall it and reinstall it. I thought I would be able to put my bookmarks bar back by just putting the addresses in and clicking the star...

Chromes bookmarks come on two forms. Main bookmarks are in the upper panel. When the star is clicked a pop up box should appear prompting you to enter the folder which you would like the tab. If this isn't happening you should contact Google as chrome is a work in progress and you may be experiencing a glitch.
Google's help requires users to post in their help forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome?hl=en
Something you can try (not a fix but might work until you find the problem) is to create your bookmarks in another browser and importing them into chrome: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=96816
I know I'm not directly helping you but I hope this can at least get your search headed in the right direction.
Good Luck.

My google chrome has downloaded but it says an error 0 x 80040204 i downloaded the file abot 4 times and still the same error pops up

If you have AVG virus software installed on your computer, try temporarily disabling AVG Resident Shield, AVG Link Scanner, and AVG Web Shield and then try to install Chrome.
If you don't have AVG installed, then try disabling whatever virus protection you are using and then try installing Chrome.
