Google Earth--very slow to open

Gday

Has anybody had this issue with google earth before?

When I try to open up google earth it gets as far as the globe coming up on the screen then just sits like that for ages, it wont seem to go any further, its really really slow, so in the end I give it away and then it takes ages to get it to shut down, really annoying and totally useless.

I had tried everthing even deleting all the google earth links etc and re downloading it again, thinking that the files might have been corrupted somehow, but still its the same.

Any ideas

cheers

Gday stayyerAU,


Generally no, since I have a tengraph overlay on it I experience a 20 sec -30 sec delay, once you zoom in the flow is getting better, its lots of data.

But if you have delete all links and even re-installed the Google earth; slow data transfer from the server is the only thing I could think off. If there is a huge traffic occurrence the data transfer slows considerably down.
You may also look into externalize excess data from the hard disc to an external hard drive. But this really should not matter, one thing more, it could be possible your graphic card is getting slow and need to be updated respectively the driver. Google earth is not a light weight and they continually upgrade their system.

Any other, wait for some days, this is what I have done in a similar case, it came back all right so I relaid the extreme delay to traffic overload.

The opening speed of Google Earth on my computer seems dependant on how many overlays and how many waypoints I have selected. If I deselect them prior to closing, it opens quicker the next time.
