Are there any Google Chrome experts out there?
Been having trouble with Chrome, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Now, every time I open Google, I get this warning: "Your preferences file is corrupt or invalid. Google Chrome is unable to recover your settings. Anyone know how to fix this?

It's saying you need to rebuild your profile as you're trying to use your old settings with your newer install.
Use a portable version of Google Chrome if you don't want to do a full clean and install of Chrome.

Enter the keyboard shortcut Windows key +E to open Windows Explorer.
In the Windows Explorer window that appears enter the following in the address bar.
Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\
Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."
Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.
