I have a recurring hard boot after I navigate around googlearth. It freezes
the computer after about 4 or 5 operations. Example I load an address, zoom
into the maximum magnification, and move the focus to a little bit south.

Perhaps your computer doesn't meet the system requirements to successfully
run Google Earth. Perhaps your Internet connection isn't fast enough.
Unfortunately, since you've told us nothing about either of those items I
can't guess.

The following links will give you an idea of what details to include in your
next post so we can help you:

And as always, answer The First Question of Troubleshooting: did this ever
work and if yes, what changed?

I included the first post so that we don't lose it.

Please help me I think I am going crazy.

GoogleEarth caused my computer to freeze and automatically to hard reboot (I
will ask wtf in another post). After a couple of tries I was presented with
"Active Desktop Recovery". I clicked on the "Restore my Active Desktop" and
received the following error message, titled: Internet Explorer Script Error.
I click cancel and that didn't work so I clicked retry. Sorry I am not sure
of the what happened next but I loaded IE. I tried rebooting. Ever since I
get a working copy of IE as part of my background, covering the exact area as
the "Active Desktop" message. I use a wallpaper changer and whenever the
wallpaper changes the IE reloads. I have tried to turn of the wallpaper
changer and load a standard wallpaper but it still happens.
