What have you done to troubleshoot this so far? Do any other graphic intensive applications or games cause similar crashing? Have the latest video drivers for your system's graphics card? That'd be some place to start.Originally Posted by Joe Walsh

Or, perhaps I can offer you a better operating system?

Oddly enough you'd have problems on Ubuntu too...IF you're running a specific graphics driver and using the fancy eye candy features of the linux desktop. I know from experience with Ubuntu 8.04 and an ATi 9800pro - easy fix though
Joe I take it this is a Windows box, XP or Vista?
In the start menu Google Earth menu there should be, in addition to the Google Earth icon, two more:
Google Earth in DirectX mode
Google Earth in OpenGL mode
Directx is generally default for Windows. Try running in OpenGL mode. Also, in Google Earth, go to "Tools" "Options" "3d" tab, top right of that tab you can select which mode, but also there is a "Safe mode" button. You may lose some eye candy but see if that stabilizes it.
If so:
1.) Update directx - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
2.) Update your graphics card driver

Have you tried just using google maps? It will do most of the same stuff including street view.

Seriously as was said you may have to do some tweaking to get it to perform properly. Would help to know the specs of your system.
