For a while, a “Sync Error” message has been sitting on my Google Chrome browser. I haven’t had the time to do anything about it till now. So, when I clicked on “Sync Error”, it took me to “Personal Stuff” in “Options”. I entered in my password and waited.
And waited….
And waited some more….
You get the picture. Nothing was happening. The little Ajax loader graphic was spinning but, that was it. I solved this by clicking on the button “Stop syncing this account…”, then I pressed the “Stop syncing” button in the “Stop syncing this account” pop up window and lastly clicking on the “Set up sync” button and entering my log in information.
A little stupid and annoying but, at least it works again.

Ah, finally a solution!!! Frankly I can’t believe I didn’t think of that myself, but I’ve now got rid of the annoying “sync error” message, so thanks!

It’s always the simplest things we forget to try first. 🙂

Maybe it’s saving a config file in the uninstall process? The only thing I can point to is manually uninstalling Chrome.
