-- Finally, someone cleverer than me was able to work out the answer
to my problem.
-- In Google Earth, at the bottom of the 'Places' section, is a box
marked 'Bathymetry'. It is this box which turns the land-blackening
off or on. The 'Ocean' box was just a red herring -- it brings up
features about the ocean, not the depth soundings.
-- I still don't know how 'Bathymetry' got to be turned on, I never
even knew the box was there. Some of the modern applications are
getting so brilliant, my inferiority complex is growing daily.
-- Thanks to everyone for help.

solutions. Your Graphics card as I suggested before could be the reason.
