I've experienced problems with the new google earth and have found an
unlikely solution to a couple. GE seems very sensitive to what is
plugged into any USB port. If you are having problems unplug everything
save your keyboard and mouse. And I mean everything. Then test GE. If
your problem has gone away, consider yourself lucky, and selectively
replug. Worked for me. And once I'd sussed it out it worked on a couple
other computers too --Tom

I don't know if this helps, because I run Linux, not Winders, but the
version of GE I'm running, 5.2.1.1588, will only accept lat/lon co-
ordinates. If I put a place name in the
search box it just says "Invalid HTTP request". Fortunately, the
combination of Wikipedia and/or OpenStreet Map usually finds suitable co-
ordinates.
