Something happened to my Chrome menu bar, in the top right hand of the screen. I was asked if I wanted to install an Adobe extension but I clicked it off - it said it would change "all the data" on websites, and I wasn't sure what this would mean (only Adobe websites?). But it may have installed anyway from the orange circle with the exclamation point it. I included some screen shots. Did this happen to anyone else? I was trying to find out which version of Chrome I have. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

I am hoping that the attachments above show my Chrome screen. I zipped the Paint images, they came out fine on my laptop but when I click the links above I get a "save as" dialogue box.

Hi Turco, no I did not click on that as I was unsure what was in the "companion" and if I would need something later. However, I returned to my laptop later to try some Win7 updates and it is gone. I have the three vertical dots back in the right top of the browser window.
Thanks, I have no idea why it returned to it's default.

Possibly a browser glitch. Not super common but it does occur time-to-time.
Troubleshooting of such out-of-the-blue application issues is always the same in the following order:
1. Close and then re-open the application and check
2. Reboot the computer then check
3. Empty out temp/junk files using an app like CCleaner and then check
4. Uninstall the app, re-install and then check.
5. Buy a Mac or install a Linux distro and then check...







Note: I was being facetious with #5!

That's because you zipped them so they can't be view directly, they must be downloaded and unzipped, which isn't the best option. Upload the pictures to an album here then provide a link to them.

Thanks for that advice, Turco.
Is it better to make an album and upload it? I uploaded just single images and zipped them because the file size was too large. Wouldn't I have the same problem with an album?

You don't upload an album, you create one here on CD, then upload individual pictures to it using CD's guidelines.
