"Proxy server connection failed" in google chrome

My Google Chrome has stopped working & I don’t know why. proxy server part is unchecked & Automatically detect settings part of LAN setting is checked.
But when I want to load any site on it this message appear:

Proxy server connection failed.

I searched but no result! Is there any way to solve this problem?

I'm using windows 8.
I uninstalled chrome and Install a newer version, but the same error exists & doesn't allow me to use chrome.
my connection to Internet is OK & I can ping www.google.com, or use other browsers.

Try following these steps:

  1. Run Chrome as Administrator.
  2. Go to the settings in Chrome.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings (its all the way down).
  4. Scroll to Network Section and click on ''Change proxy settings''.
  5. A window will pop up with the name ''Internet Properties''
  6. Click on ''LAN settings''
  7. Un-check ''Use a proxy server for your LAN''
  8. Check ''Automatically detect settings''
  9. Click everything ''OK'' and you are done!
