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. Lanny Marcus wrote: > On Sat, Aug 23, 2008 at 6:46 AM, William L.
