    do not open until Google Earth and Microsoft office, a week ago to reinstall the system because of this, with yesterday again stopped running.

    Hi there,

    The first thing to check is if the path itself is actually there.
    Go into My Computer and try to locate the googleearth.exe file.

    My gut feeling is that you have a virus which is playing around with your files so I would run and up to date virus checker and see if that brings anything up.

    Are you installing any new software prior to the error messages appearing?

    Cheers

    Yes, I installed the software, even updated Windows. Google Earth and Microsoft office worked fine until March 1. That record established programs
