Google Earth
Someone please help! I'm running Vista build 5744 and trying to run Google
Earth. Every time I try to start it, it gives me a message, "Google Earth has encountered a problem and must close" or something like that. If anyone has gotten it to work, PLEASE tell me how and what to do!

The only times I've seen it fail to start at all, choosing the other option made it work. Sometimes if you ignore the complaint dialog instead of agreeing to have it close, GE will go ahead and work without any changes. Loren
