Google earth is absolutely compatible with windows7.it seems installation problem in your system.rather than using partial setup from google for install,download the complete setup from 'http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_earth' and try..think it'll work
Hmmm, where did Google Earth go when I changed to Win7 from Vista?
Oh well, I'll just download it again. Hmmm, doesn't seem to want to load. I'll bite (byte?), time to ask you all again.
How do I get Google Earth to work with Windows 7 Home Premium?
Thank you.
