Google Earth problems
by ajenks - 7/14/05 10:35 AMHi, I have read the reviews and user comments on Google Earth and it looks awesome! However, I downloaded it and cannot get the account acitivation login to work despite trying for several straight days many times. On their website, they site the error code I am getting as being common and them having a hard time handling the traffic of new users. I want it! 
It is driving me crazy though to keep seeing Google Earth day after day being a highlighted CNet article, when day after day I cannot get the program to allow me in. Very disappointing and frustrating. Thanks for listening!
I also had the same problem initially

The error message pointed me to an article on the GoogleEarth web site that suggested it was my firewall. It wasn't as I use ZoneAlarm and ZA asked me directly if I wanted to allow GE access to the internet which I clicked Yes.
I tried again a day later and got through. So it is more likely their servers, unless you are also using a firewall and it is blocking access.

PS, I've just tried it, (UK, GMT 20:27 +1) and it's working ok.
Weird!

I use ZoneAlarm Pro as well and have it setup to allow it. I just turned it off and was able to log in finally, for the first time. Weird, now I'm not sure if it is a Google issue or a ZoneAlarm issue....
zone alarm
by rhotson - 7/14/05 6:22 PM In reply to: Weird! by ajenksZA can cause problems that are difficult to track down. I gave ZA permission for my voip app. but constantly had problems I removed ZA and downloaded the free Sygate personal firewall and no longer had any problems. Maybe you should think to do similar. Cheers, Ray
Or try this;

Do the same again, turn off ZA, open up and log onto Google Earth, then start ZA again.
It might recognise that you are using GE and should pop up with a question asking if you want to allow this.

Google Earth subscription
by pineseed - 2/15/08 8:20 AM In reply to: Google Earth problems by ajenksI recently subscribed to Google Earth, paid for it, received a code verifying the subscription and payment and now I cannot access Google Earth. I have not had a response from GE since. Has anyone else had this problem. Can someone tell me what is happening. Am I a victim of a scam?
Please help.
