I can't download it on my computer, I'm using an old version of windows! steam driven computer!, but everyone else in the house can. Perhaps that is all the problem is. Suex

This is great...I just hovered over my brother's house in Canberra! Thanks for the tip, I had never heard of this. I didn't have any trouble downloading it, and I have Spybot and all kinds of AOL safeguards. The only thing is it disappears after I have been on it awhile, is it a timed out thing does anyone know??

Hi Everyone, Just to update you all, I have now managed to dowload Google Earth this morning. I don't know why it wouldn't download before but ok now. I have just viewed my house and then family relatives home in Elgin... have to go and search some more... Betty
