View in Google Earth, does not open Symptoms: Clicking the Show in Google Earth button doesn’t work. Opening Google Earth doesn’t work either. Cause: Google Earth has stalled and is not responding. Solutions: Restart your computer. To avoid having to restart your computer, open Task Manager by right-clicking a blank part of the taskbar (usually at the bottom of the screen) and selecting Task Manager. Then, under the Processes tab, right-click on Google Earth and choose End task. Then Google Earth should start up successfully the next time you try.
