You will have multiple options available and it’s best to just go through all of them, in the order that they are displayed in. Once you open the repair tool, you can start trying out the different solutions that it proposes.
It’s basically the software saying “listen, this isn’t working, you might want to try something different”.
After it fails on multiple tries, users should inevitably be asked if they would like to try the Repair Tool.
The easiest way to power up the Repair Tool is to simply try accessing Google Earth Pro a couple of times. It would seem that using this repair tool will get rid of any technical problems and eliminate any factor that would be causing the program initialization to fail like that. Using the repair toolĪccording to another user on the forums which goes by the name of Alchemist251, those that are stuck in this predicament can use the new Repair Tool which has been made available in version 7.3. All hopes of getting into the program and testing out what the upgraded version has to offer collapsed when the program displayed a “program is not responding” message, the kind that lets you choose whether you want to wait it out or quit the application. After a minute, the screen was the same and that aroused the first signs of suspicion from the user. While things don’t sound that dire just yet, the worst is yet to come.

This is code I was handed to modify to get the data we need and therefore I don't know anything about how efficient it is compared to other methods. I am aware that the code is kind of ugly and needs to be cleaned up but my boss has told me not to bother since what I am doing won't be used in production and to focus more on getting the files he needs than making the code more readable. My boss is running Vista Business and he normally has this problem more than I do. Would using a "template" to fill in the data for the kml work better? Here is a sample of my code and a sample of part of the kml file it creates.Īny idea about what I can do to solve these problems? If I try to just double click on the kml file without having done the process I just talked about, Google Earth becomes non-responsive. It then starts plotting just fine at that point usually. I then plot it, which causes this message:Īre you sure you want to reload this file, any unsaved edits will be lost?
Most of the time to get the files to plot, I have to edit the kml with notepad, delete all but one of the points, plot that point, and then rerun an Excel macro to get the full file back. I also had a kml file I had to plot that is 937kb containing 2637 points.
The kml files I am trying to load into Google Earth range from around 67kb for a file containing 177 points, to 454kb with 1172 points. Sometimes if I let it sit a while without touching it after it closes then it will open OK. Also, I can't just close Google Earth and open it back up when it becomes non-resposive because it still doesn't work. I am assuming this means Google Earth is storing it in a different format.Īt any rate, what should I do? I would really prefer to keep everything in Google Earth's "my places" since each file takes forever to load, but if I need to delete "my places" and start over I guess I'll have to do that. When I search my comp for "my places" the size of that file is only just under 400kb. I am assuming this problem is being caused by the fact that if I add up the total size of the kmls that I have saved to "my places" they are somewhere in the neighborhood of 3MB. Loading myplaces.kml, including enabled overlays Sometimes when I try to open Google Earth it just freezes while: I am having a problem with Google Earth freezing up both when I try to open it and when I try to plot KML files into it.
