Google Earth
 
For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to download Google Earth to use at home on my Laptop.

Every time I go through the download it almost finishes then comes up with an error code and doesn't complete the download.

I have done a search for this problem and carried out the actions suggested but it still wont work.

Has anyone else had this problem and what have you done to resolve it?

Thanks

Where are you downloading it from? You could try downloading it from a different source (perhaps www.downloads.com), see if that has any affect.

Yeah just do a search on thta site they tend to host most things, would be suprised if they didn't have a google earth. If it still fails you know it's more than likely something your end.

Why bother down loading it. Go on the internet, go on google maps, click on satellite view. The same thing without have any other software clogging up your PC.

Madness, I have been using that recently but thought that google earth was supposed to have a better picture and be able to do more with it.

I find that Google maps is easier to use, quicker, looks better. TBH what extra feature do you want? You can still make routes, use the planner and spy on your neighbours, pretty sure its got street view as well?

I removed Google Earth from my PC. Google Maps does everything I want.
