Google Earth Problem?
I have been a heavy user of Google Earth for several years. Recently I have a problem that I have spent several hours trying to correct. When I log on to Google Earth, I always start in view that does not allow me to zoom in. The view controls at the upper right side of the screen are there but do not function. The wheel on the mouse works, but as I zoom in I end up looking over the horizon at a very flat angle. I have even tried removing the Google Earth program and reinstalling the program. All these problems are on my computer at home. The office computer works normally. Does anyone know what is going wrong?

Google Earth Problem?
Did you recently upgrade it or has it auto-updated? I loaded the latest version of GE back in January. It flat does not work. I checked some blogs and found out many people have the same trouble. They recommended going back to an older version which I found in my Downloads folder. That worked perfectly. Progress??

Bill Snead 6W I checked my download file and the only google earth file I found is the one I used to reinstall In September 2013. I do not think it will help. Is there a way to contact Google for help? Bill Snead 6W |

Bill Snead Bill, there is no way to contact Google for help. Like most of the "too big to fail" Internet giants, you are on your own with their apps. It's very frustrating. There is a Google Earth users group and that is where I got my best information. Tell us if Dave or Tom's information helped. |

Bill Snead 6W I've experienced problems with the new google earth and have found an unlikely solution to a couple. GE seems very sensitive to what is plugged into any USB port. If you are having problems unplug everything save your keyboard and mouse. And I mean everything. Then test GE. If your problem has gone away, consider yourself lucky, and selectively replug. Worked for me. And once I'd sussed it out it worked on a couple other computers too --Tom |

If I put a place name in the search box it just says "Invalid HTTP request". Fortunately, the combination of Wikipedia and/or OpenStreet Map usually finds suitable co- ordinates. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |

Did what you suggested and it works fine again. Have you experienced this problem often? |
