"The operating system is not suppotred by google earth."
Does this simply mean my computer isnt good enough?

Thanks for any input.

What OS are you using. I think you need 2000, XP or later.

[bluespanner]

2000. the computer is really old though.

[FourWheelDrift]

you might be missing an update for 2000. Do an auto update to see what's critical and missing.

You need a farly serious 3D graphics card too. The machine I use at work fits the bill on paper but won't run it.

My laptop runs it no probs and it's only got a crappy onboard 64mb video card.

Same here until it decides to give me the blue screen of death every once in a while. My onboard graphics drivers haven't had an update since 2002 (as there doesn't seem to be any after this date) even though the laptop itself is only 2 years old. Uses a ATI Mobility Radeon, it's a Toshiba Satelitte Pro and neither the Toshiba site or the ATI site seem to have updates for this,
