Thanks for the advice and comments. Not sure how to launch from the command line - I've very little experience of Windows, although lots and lots of experience with DOS (of various flavors), Linux console/shell, and Linux GUIs. I can get to the command line, just don't know what executable to run. I haven't tried other browsers, and I have no idea how to trace system calls on Windows without some sort of dev environment. So far I've gone to chrome://plugins and disabled the Flash plugin, then re-enabled it, and now it seems to work. Mostly.

Start -> Run; type "cmd"; drag & drop the chrome icon onto the command line window. You may need to prefix it with start /wait To capture output. But there might not be any output. Process Explorer traces some stuff, and doesn't need a system environment. I'm not sure if it would suffice, particularly with a process that dies quickly. You'd have to try it. Good to hear that it works - not quite sure what you mean by "mostly". :-) I'm no Windows expert but feel free to contact me out-of-band (contact info is in my profile) if you think I could help.
