I have exactly the same problem. The program simply will not load. Using Mac OS 10.56 with ATI Radeon X1900 graphics card. I have carried out all recommended steps. Very frustrating! |

Reading all of these posts convinces me that someone at Google screwed up and there needs more basic work to be done. Does anyone at Google read this thread? I wonder. |

Some additional info: 1) I have stated before that GE does not even try to connect before the crash, but I have recently spotted such an activity in one of firewall logs, so it happens at least sometimes. 2) I have also searched for recently changed |

I'm in the same boat. googleearth.exe appears in the task manager for a split second and then disappears. Have checked firewall, etc. and it should be running. I do remember an earlier version of GE working. Maybe it's time for some registry work? T |

I have a very similar problem! Installed GE5 and when running the program you get the GE5 splash screen come up and then "Google Earth has encountered a problem and must close sorry for the inconvenience". Then GE write a dump file somewhere??? |

The answer at this time seems to be is to stick with Google Earth 4 which you can easily download and works fine on my Mac OS 10.5.6 and leave GE 5 to the pro's who apparently developed this dog. Nuff said! |

Interesting. I also had Google Earth 4 Pro trial installed once - and on another than default drive. I considered it to be one of possible problem causes and have uninstalled it and purged everything resemblng a GE reference from registry and documen |
