Mmm! d/l is one thing..... getting it to work is another week :-)

Oh?
Do you mean you're having some kind of probs getting it to work then?
If so, what probs are you having?

error message c000000c
Somewhere along the line port 80 is probably blocked.
Just needs time spent on looking at the proxy/firewall,
router/firewall, and then Windoze/firewall.
One month I'll find the time to play with it.

Ah, yes...
The Google Earth Application is an "Online" Application - It needs
an Internet Connection to work.

When you first Start it up, it Contacts the Keyhole.com Authorization
Servers to "Log in" to your Account (the Free Version uses a generic
type Account, you don't need to actually Set up an Account with
Keyhole.com).

If it can't Connect to the Keyhole Auth Server, then it doesn't work.

& while it's in use it Connects to the (other) Keyhole (& Google)
Server(so) & Downloads the Map & Satellite Image & Terrain Data
(& also Info about Places). It has a local "Cache" of some of the
Data, so once it has some stuff in the Cache you *can* use it Offline,
but as you Pan around & Zoom, it needs to Download more Data.

So you do have to make sure that it can make (Outbound) Connections
to the Servers (through any Proxy that you might have), but it doesn't
need any *Incoming Connections, so it should work fine with a "one way"
Firewall, such as the windoze Firewall. All the Connections it makes
are just on the normal HTTP (Web) Port 80 - unless, obviously, you are
using a Proxy Server & then it uses whatever Port is Set for the Proxy
Server.
