    My PC screen goes blank every time i open Google Earth this only started today, this happen before a few months back had to keep uninstalling it and reinstalling it a few time before it was okay.

    Anyone know what the cause of this would be or how to stop it from happening, very very annoying, Thanks everyone.

    Update your video driver.

    When you do get to see the Google Earth screen, there is an option under Tools/Options called 'Graphics Mode', it's over in the top-right corner and the options are OpenGL or DirectX, experiment with these to see which works best.
