Google Earth low details ??
      #1222472 - 08/22/08 10:41 AM

Hello,
I don't know why but my Google Earth is somehow not as detailed as it used to be. When I zoom on my house on my work computer I can see my car standing outside. When I doo it on my laptop I just see some big stains and the details are very poor. I tried switching between OpenGL, DirectX, all options are set to high but it just won't work.

I also tried reinstalling GE without any success.

Any ideas what's going on ?

Here is how it looks on a old PC with a poor graphic card (good)




Here is how it looks on my laptop (bad):





Thanks in advance for your help.


regards,
Tex

What version of GE are you running on your laptop? It should be 4.3.7284
(Help Menu> About GE).

If it's not, try downloading the installer from the direct link on this page, and uninstall/reinstall.

Also clear your cache file; that's not impacted by uninstallation.

If the above does not help, you should post your question in the GE Help Group itself:

Hi,
