Hi David,

In Google Earth > Preferences, do you have 3D View "True Color (32 bit)" - Anisotropic Filtering "High" selected?

Google have released a new imagery update for Google Earth.

What computer & OS are you using. It might have something to do with your Graphics card?

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni & Susan --

-- Thanks for the suggestions, I did download Google Earth
5.0.11733.9347, and unfortunately I still have the problem with the
new version. Any other ideas?

Cheers

Re: Google Earth going black

Hi David,

Working ok for me also. Shanghai, China loads correctly.
Google Earth 5.0.11733.9347

Try the same version as Susan & I have, see if that makes any
difference.

has downloaded most data, then the land portion goes black (sea
portions go misty blue without a defined boundary).

suggests Google did this on purpose a year ago on World Environment
Day, but I can't imagine they would make their service unusable for
days like this. As far as I can see, I haven't altered any
preferences. No doubt there is a simple answer I've missed?
