    Google Earth Stopped working?

    Hey guys.. Not sure if I should be asking a Google question here, but here
    it goes....

    I had installed the latest version of Google earth for a while now and
    worked great from the start, but I have not used for about a month or so,
    and I decided to look something up last night and I am getting the MS error
    message "Google Earth has stopped working" when I launch it.....

    I have Vista Premium, and the only thing I can think of that has been
    updated with Vista is I updated my Intel G31 video drivers recently... I
    have also installed MS Virtual Earth (maybe MS is forcing G/E to not run so
    we have to use MS's Virutal Earth )

    The problem report in the control panel does not give any technical reason
    why it stopped working...



    thanks guys!....

    Re: Google Earth Stopped working?

    Hey guys.. I think I found the problem.. I was able to install an old version of GE 4.2, and it worked fine.. I was fooling around with the option, and when I changed the display type from DirectX to OpenGL, and re started the GE, I get the same error..

    I have tried to find a GE.ini file to see about changing the option back to DirectX, but I can not find such a file..

    Does GE have a ini file I can access?, if so, where???
