PD43 said:Good catch! In many (most?) computers that's a CD drive.
I have one hard drive c and a cd drive so where do i go from here?
Elmo said:The default download path needs to be changed then. If you're prompted
for a folder to save the download to, change the drive letter there. If
not, what browser are you using? It may have a place to name the
download path.
Lem said:In Firefox:
Go to Tools > Options
Click "Main" (at the top)
In the middle of the window, either click the radio button next to
"Always ask me where to save files"
OR
click the radio button next to "Save files to" AND THEN click on the
"Browse" button and select the folder where you want downloaded files saved.
Click "OK" at the bottom of the window.

It is already set up to download onto my desktop, which it does. It's when I double click on this the wizzard takes over. I just went to tools like you said, and made a new folder with path. Same results. So the path is set up to go to my harddrive c. That's why I don't understand the error drive e.
Lem said:Is this "wizzard" something other than the "Downloads" window that
appears if you go, in FF, to Tools > Downloads?
If so, you apparently have installed some 3rd-party download manager.
What does it say in the Title Bar of the "wizzard" that opens when you
double-click to download a file?

The title bar says Install Shield Wizzard the same as in ff download window.
Lem said:Please skip a line before starting to type your reply, so it doesn't
look like part of the previous post.
If it says "Install Shield" then you have *already* downloaded the file
and saved it to your desktop (or someplace else on your computer). And
now you have double-clicked on that file in order to actually do the
install.
Is that correct?
If that's correct, then your problem is *installing* and not
*downloading*.
Please list *everything* you do starting with
1. double-click Google_Earth_BXV (or GoogleEarthwin)
2.
until the error happens.

Itold you I was new at this I can't even get it to skip a line before I answer!!!!I get the download onto my desktop. From there I double click on the GOOGLE EARTH icon. That's when the install shield wizzard starts. That goes away, and installing google earth window comes up showing the process in progress. It then stops, and the error message says Error 1327. invalid drive:E:/
Lem said:Read this:
You receive an "Error 1327. Invalid Drive" error message when you try to
install Office 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763
Even though the title refers to Office 2000, the same thing apparently
applies to attempts to install Google Earth and other Install Shield
Error 1327 problems (except, of course, for step 8).
Given your level of computer expertise, you might want to print out that
page and take it a knowledgeable friend or a local computer repair shop
(not a chain store's service department).

Thank you so much for all your help. I found this same page before. I went in but did't find the exact entry so did't dare change anything.I'll take your advice and seek professional help. There was no value listed in that section so that could be the problem. If I resolve this I'll let you know so you can help others. Again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Elmo said:Something you might try: Run REGEDIT, press the Home key, press Ctrl/F.
Type e: into the search pane, press Enter. If there are any "hits",
post back with their location (shown on the status bar at the bottom of
the window).
We MIGHT be able to suggest a change. It could also be that a syntax,
such as /e or ,e was corrupted, and then misinterpreted as a reference
to the E: drive., so you might not find "e:" in regedit.
