To get Google Chrome working in Windows 7 64bit, you'll need to edit the launch shortcut.

1. Go to 'Start' > 'All Programs' > click 'Google Chrome' to expand the folder, and right click on 'Google Chrome' and go to 'Properties':

chrome1

2. Append '--in-process-plugins' after chrome.exe in the 'Target' field:

chrome2

Chrome should now work (at least, it did for me!)
