| 1142942 | 2010-10-09 06:08:00 | I have a machine that is running Vista Home Premium and it seems to be crashing whenever I use Google Earth. At the moment the PC has 1 GB of RAM. CPU is Intel Core 2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86ghz Would adding extra memory solve the problem? |

Agreed but another gig of RAM wouldn't hurt the performance either especially seen as you're running Vista which is an absolute memory hog on a good day. I would also set your pagefile to a fixed size... I have 4GB of RAM and also have a set page file size of 4GB as well, just to help things along. Cheers. |

| 1142945 | 2010-10-09 06:22:00 | Does it also crash while playing 3D games, because Google Earth also uses the 3D capabilities. Do you have a separate video card, try updating the drivers. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1142946 | 2010-10-09 06:25:00 | Video card is GeForce 7300 LE which came with the machine. I have spare ATI 3450 PCIe Graphics card 256mb. |
