This may illustrate the issue better

PC spec is the one in my specs :) could be related to basic graphics set-up but as I said it's manageable for me

I did have GE OPEN when I took the CPU Performance screenshot, BUT I was not USING it. The CPU use eventually drops to near zero when I don't use it.

I tried to take a snippet while using GE, but since the CPU instantly goes to 100% the snippet tool would not work. Therein lies the problem. When using GE CPU immediately goes to 100% and is it is so slow to render sceens, (but does not crash the system.)

Yeah, that is what I was pointing out - either it ain't running or it ain't taking up 100% of the CPU.

Just installed Google Earth ver 5 on RC7100 64bit.
It sucks nearly 100% of my CPU and is very very very slow.
On the exact same computer with WIN XP SP3, Google Earth ver 5 works just fine.

Anyone else have this problem or a solution?

[AMD 64bit 3200+ CPU with 2 gig memory]

1st = you must the latest version of your device video
2nd = you must download activex complete (566 MB app) DXSDK_aug09

after it Googleearth will run in ultraappropriate mode. I ve checked it and is ok

best regards
