Google Earth

Kerry Wilson · 08-09-2005, 05:56 AM

Hi
I need some advice please. I've downloaded Google Earth for my parents. The software is there and they can open it up but soon after that, it locks. Any thoughts greatfully appreciated!
Thanks

Make sure the PC meets Google Earth's minimum configuration:

Quote:

Minimum configuration:

* Operating system: Windows 2000, Windows XP
* CPU speed: Intel® Pentium® PIII 500 MHz
* System memory (RAM): 128MB
* 200MB hard-disk space
* 3D graphics card: 3D-capable video card with 16MB VRAM (important)
* 1024x768, 32-bit true color screen
* Network speed: 128 kbps ("Broadband/Cable Internet")

Also note that Google Earth is Beta Software.

You might try adjusting the Graphic mode between DirectX and OpenGL along with adjusting the texture color -- and pay really close attention to "network speed of 128kbs or higher"... Just some thoughts.

I have a problem with Google Earth. MY PC is way way above the required spec but I get an error every time I start it, whether I use the link to google earth, or change to opengl/directx.

Error goes a bit like this:

Quote:

The application failed to initialize properly. Click on OK to terminate the application

I havent tried it on my other PC though, which is also over spec.

Reinstalling is always best. Also try a different mode.

I found that Google Earth was a very intteresting program but it takes a while to get used to but once i got used to it i found that it was a very useful Software Program.
