I'm not even sure that this is the right place to talk about this.  I don't know if it is software, internet explorer, hardware, malware or what but every time I try to use Google Earth my machine just freezes up.  No response to mouse or keyboard.  I have un-installed and re-installed GE at least three times.....no luck :'(   I went throught the same procedure on my laptop and it worked out just fine.   I have scanned with SuperAntispyware and Malewarebyte with no luck.   NOt too long ago I was able to use Google Earth satisfactorily....  Anybody have any ideas here?? ???  Thanks for looking,  JIM
You are much appreciated..     Thank you ,

      Most likely u dont have enough RAM. Google Earth does that to my cpu as well so just wait for like 4 hrs max if possible. If not, u are stuffed.

      Could be,  However, if my memory serves correctly, I used to be able to use Google Earth on this same machine.   It has 1 Gbyte of ram.   My laptop, which has 2 Gbytes, handles Google Earth quite well..    I only have to wait about 10 minutes before I get the error message so you are probably right,  Thank you,  JIM
