smerchly Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm not a tecky but I know we have some here at NFN . Since I got this computer with 3 gigs I cannot download Google Earth properly . I had no prob. with my old pute which was less gigs. I like to use Earth to download maps but when I zoom about 1/2 way on the scale , the image is blurry . I use Google Maps which works great but I cannot save images from it . Any help would be appreciated , I have tried several times from different sites but still get blurred images .

Maybe a part of this pc is too small to handle earth . If I can't fix it I'll take the pc to the place close by to let them fix/upgrade and install it for me . They are very reasonable and smart !

Horrorshowrot Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I would google direct x 11 and download it and install it. I doubt the video card would be unable to handle google earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
