Google Earth

[Barsel]

I've been trying to download Google Earth onto my computer but I keep getting an error message 1603. Could you help me with this problem please?

Looks like now's the time they set last year for it to 'wither on the vine'

Error 1603 usually indicates that Google Earth may have been previously installed. Check your installed programs. If a previous installation exists and you are having trouble running it, attempt an uninstall and then perform a new installation. See the following info:-

Thanks for your answers. Is seems it was there all along so I've been able to put a shortcut onto my desktop. The problem now is that somewhere along the way, the recycle bin has disappeared! Hopefully someone might see this and advise me how to get it back.If not, I'll have a fiddle about later as I have to go shopping now.Thanks again x

To restore the recycle bin to the Desktop:-

Windows 7:

Thanks for the link pinkyboyid. I didn't have the same screen as in the video but I did find the recycle bin and have put a shortcut to it on my desktop. All sorted.x
