I'm lost. For some reason I cannot access "Google Earth" now; I used to be able to with no problem. I'm using Windows XP, Firefox, and AVG (new version). Any help would be really appreciated.
Google updated GE around the 26/2/13 the 7.0 version. you can try and download it again or do a search for it on your pc. it should be under All Programs.
I used to able to just double click on the desktop icon and get Google Earth. The last few days I can't, so I deleted the program and tried to download it again: I can't. Think it must be the antivirus program I have...Back to using the atlas I guess. Thanks for trying to help, people.
Turn the firewall off and try downloading it again. I had similar problem and this worked for me. Remember to turn on the firewall after you've finished.
I did everything that you suggested; however, all I get is a message: "Google Earth has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.".
