    hi all i recently downloaded the most recent release of google earth and now i wont work at all for me. Before this it was working perfectly. now when i click to start it up i get the working icon (hourglass) for a second of 2 then nothing.
    i dont think that i have installed anything else that might have caused this,
    is there any specific software upgrades i might need to run this recent version of GE ?
    cheers

    Have you tried reinstalling GE?

    Ive the same problem now ive just download the latest GE. Did the OP get anywhere in the end?

    works grand for me but then again i havent updated it so maybe theres a problem with the upgrade.

    on an aside does anyone know how to embed your youtube files onto google earth? ive a fair few vids from around my area, and i have geotagged and dated them in youtube with the ability for a third party to access them , but im not sure what to do next.

    are they added automatically from youtube or do i have to do something in GE myself?

    Id want to have a MASSIVE cache and have searched the majority of Dublin recently for it to be my cache.
    Or a normal cache and I just happened to look at exactly the same places as I had stored in my cache.
    Both are extremely implausible, especially since Ive never gone on Google maps at work until I seen your post.

    im just getting everything from sorry.google.com, ah i see it thought i was a bot and blocked my ip , i had to enter a catchpa to get it working again, i don't have any spyware(i just doublechecked) i wonder why it did that, this damn new computer keeps bocking me from doing things and swopping stuf ffrom my old computer i must have turned something off i shouldn't have and got a virus :/
