I posted this in the Vista General Discussion, but it prompted no replies. So
I thought I'd try it here.
I’m running Vista Home Premium with an ATI 256 MB graphics card. I have all
updates. My system is smooth and fast, and most online services work
perfectly. PC is a standalone desktop with a cable connection to the
internet, and no other network is involved.
Google Earth installs and runs OK. However, when I try to search for any
location, I see the message “streaming…†and then receive the following error
after about 30 seconds:
“Google Earth detected a network error. Please check your network connection
and try again.â€
I searched Google Earth Help, as well as Microsoft support. Although there
have been one or two instances of the same error reported, no useful advice
was given. Here is what I’ve tried:
(1) Unplugged my cable modem, plugged it back in, diagnosed, repaired, and
re-set my network connection
(2) Turned off the firewall and anti-virus program
(3) Turned off the pop-up blocker and Protected Mode in IE7
(4) Enabled all Services at services.msc that seem to relate to network
functions
(5) Made sure all properties (Client for Microsoft Networks, etc.) for the
internet connection are checked
(6) Uninstalled and reinstalled Google Earth.
None of the above helped. I will add that all my Windows Features are
unchecked except Games and the XPS viewer. Also, for the last several days I
have been unable to access http://maps.google.com/, which normally comes up
very quickly.
Can anybody offer a solution to this unusual problem?
