All I can say is, thanks for being confused. I have hated the 4.3.something ver of googleearth since I first installed it. Based on your investigation, I realized that ver 4.3 isn't supposed to work with my Athlon XP 2600+ and didn't look back in getting all the ver 4.3 stuff replaced with 4.2.0205.5730.
Amazingly, I did not find the older version on their site when I initially installed 4.3.
<snip> Robert: Cool..... Since you wrote that you hated the 4.3 version, I'll pass on that one and I will try to look before I leap, before upgrading google earth again... :-) On my Desktop, the 4.3 version launched, but it didn't seem to get any data from the google server(s) and most of the boxes were grayed out. The first time I installed google earth was last December, so my daughter could use NORAD's Santa tracking site. That version worked perfectly. Lanny
