Quick question about Google Earth

[learninmypc]

Occasionally when I'm using Google Earth on my W7, it freezes , the screen goes white & this pop up

This has been happening for some time so I just use Google Earth on my Vista, np problem.
Even if I relaunch Google Earth, it'll happen again.Yet there are times when I can use it numerous times & no problems. Strange. That pop up only lasts a couple seconds & fades out.

Have you updated drivers?

 

[learninmypc]

I will "try" if you can help
"EDIT" I googled AMD & I saw this http://support.amd.com/en-us of many

 

[St1ckM4n]

That's correct. Click 'Find My Driver' and then 'automatically detect' on the right-hand side.

Ok, also one of the options was to right click the desktop & click on the AMD thing which I did. I also look in the Device manager & NO caution/problem icons in there.

Right clicking my desktop & clicking the AMD thing, I went thru the clicks & came to this

You might try rolling back to the old driver in the device manager. If you keep having problems. Then weight for the next update.

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, the only AMD I see in Device Manager are
Processors


I think that is all.

Try looking under display adapter in the device manger.

Their you go click on its properties . Once the properties window opens . Click on the driver tab and scroll down to roll back driver. See if it will let you do this.

 

[learninmypc]

Doing so on each, both tell me its up to date.

 

[Cobalt006]

No you do not need to click on update . You need to click on Roll Back your driver. This way it goes back to the driver that was installed before the update.

 

[learninmypc]

Neither of them has that option.

 

[Cobalt006]

Try the link down below. It will give you the driver before your last update. Sorry for a double post

[learninmypc]

Sorry for being so ignorant, but which would you suggest?

 

[Cobalt006]

Try the first one. 13.9

 

[learninmypc]

Its been downloaded & installed. Only time will tell.
As always, I'll bookmark this thread to find it later if needed.

Maybe try running GE in OpenGL mode, instead of DirectX?

 

[learninmypc]

Its already in that. Puzzling

 

[learninmypc]

Would it help if I posted the Google Earth Option I have it at?

 

[Cobalt006]

If you want you can post google options.. But as you stated only time will tell if changing the driver helped.
