Dante,

Do you have DirectX installed? My wife was having the same problem prior to installing DirectX.

Thanks.

Dante · Jul 12, 2006

If you are using a computer that was made before 2004 that is
probably why you can't use it.

Gynecologist,

With all respect. Why would you say that?

Thanks.

I tried to run Google Earth and it never worked. I
read through the troubleshoot and it said it Google
Earth may not work on computers made before 2004.

I have a laptop I was wondering if that was the problem?
Maybe I need a new graphic card? I don't know.

I'm surprised that they would place that comment in the troubleshooting section as many PC's can be upgraded.

I would of stated what hardware is required to run the software. Not place a year of the PC that will run the software. In addition, many PC's that we buy now have the same hardware that was used in 2004.

My reply isn't with you, it's with them.

Thanks.

It's amazing from how far up you can see the Bellagio fountains

RobFunk · Jul 12, 2006

goodcall, good call.

I should look at Vegas.

G.E. is actually a hobby for some people. Some interesting things to be uncovered.
