Google are talking about DirectX 9 for the latest Earth update. It may simply be my 2005 graphics card, Via/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP, built-in with the old Acer/Gigabyte motherboard. The root cause of the failure of version 7. Anyhow, to save time, I just uninstalled that version (6., interestingly, not 6.) and reinstalled, as stated. Earth wouldn't start, possibly because of that. However, Windows renamed some Earth folders, adding them as a separate entry under Programme Files. It worked, but produced no graphics! This was fixed by disabling "Atmosphere" under "View".īefore that, I tried restoring to a point just before the auto-update came in.
Google automatically disable updates for this old version, as Hitori has said. version, which was only built ~five months' back I got round to doing this just a short while ago, hence the slow return to this thread. Basically, I ended up also, like tkcenterline, uninstalling and reinstalling using the 6. However, I am the first to admit I need a new computer! That being the case, they may produce a better update at some point. It seems at this stage that Earth's most recent update is not backwards compatible with some older graphics cards. I may get back to this thread tomorrow with a bit more news. Then I'll switch the internet back on and work from that point.Īnother way to fix this would be to uninstal the current Earth and instal instead the previous version, from here:Ĭlick "advanced setup" in "Customize your installation of Google Earth with advanced setup" and use the options which appear. If I can't, then I will disable, in Services, the three Google update services I have listed there on this particular machine. So, tomorrow I am proposing to attempt to restore to that point with the internet switched off so that no update can be downloaded and see if I can fix the old version so that it does not automatically update. I have a system restore point labelled "Software Distribution Service 3.0" timed about 10 minutes' earlier, which in turn was made about 10 minutes after I had switched the computer on. That date/time ties in with freshly dated sub-folders in Goggle Earth's main folder, which were made one minute later. Client Process Id: 1708.įor more information, see Help and Support Center at.
Opened up, the first MsiInstaller entry reads in part:īeginning a Windows Installer transaction: C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\._msige61\Google Earth.msi. Mine appeared under "MsiInstaller" in the list. Hi! If Earth was working recently and has stopped working since the last update, then you should be able to see the date/time of the update in Event Viewer/Application.
