435623 2006-03-05 04:44:00 I am having a problem running Google Earth on my recently acquired new computer.
This is something of a surprise to me since Google Earth ran perfectly on the old computer which was of a much lower specification.
Basic specs are:
Win XP SP2 Media CENTER Edition.
AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual core 3800+ CPU
Mother board: ASUS A8N-SLI
Memory: IGB DDR 400 PC3200 SDRAM
Graphics Card: GECUBE X800XL 256MB PCIE
HDD: SEAGATE 200GB SATA 7200RPM
When I load Google Earth, the program is somewhat sluggish.
On flying to a premarked location on the globe, the program hangs just before I get there and does not zoom in the the previously determined elevation.
The <Tilt> function does not work at all with either the mouse on the on-screen control panel.
I have just downloaded a fresh copy of the program and there are no available updates.
All my hardware is new a fully updated.
Does anyone have any suggestions? :waughh:
