google earth 7, 32bit in 12.10 runs without error but there is no image (globe)
- by Dennis
Everything seemed to install fine.  I can start google earth and all layers are available, I can even zoom in and look at 3-D buildings.  But there is absolutely no image data displayed at all.  If you look at the whole globe the outlines are there on an invisible globe.  As you zoom in the base looks dark grey almost black but there is no image. I have tried.
