The support forum for GE has a couple of notes that may apply. The free
version of GE should not ask for a login and password. If you had previously
downloaded Keyhole (which is the engine behind GE), it will ask for your
email address and password. I know it did for me... and puzzled me for a
minute. I don't think it's validating against your email account. I think I
used a different password from my email account for Keyhole, and entered
that password when starting GE.

Does this fit your situation? Did you try Keyhole before?

Caution!

Imbedded in the message below my dotted line there
is the address for a blog for a power pilot's experiences
Inside that blog there is a comment about a Google
program for viewing airports as follows:


I downloaded this program and it began installation.
It demanded to know the password for my email account.
I gave a false password and the program would not
continue.

DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD! I think this is bogus,
just like some of the false eBay and PayPal messages.
