Problem with Google Earth search

Greetings:

I hope someone here can help me with this......

I just downloaded Google Earth and right away I have a problem: I
cannot search for locations and "fly to" them.

Seems no matter what location I type in, I get YOUR SEARCH RETURNED NO
RESULTS....

Not even for new york, ny!!!!

Oddly enough....I *can* find Beijing, China.

Is there some other "locations" module that I need to download?? I see
no reference to anything like this. And when I searched the help area,
it just confirmed that everything I'm doing *SHOULD* be working.

Assistance appreciated.

Thanks!!

You've got the special Chinese version, which is limited to the
things the Chinese ruling party's central committee wants you to
see. (:-)

You added a smiley face, so I'm note sure if that was meant as a
joke......but it does in fact seem to be the case!!! I have discovered
that the *ONLY* cities I can fly to are in China!!!

Is there some setting (a registry key or something) that can force a
change in the default setting? Are there really different versions? Is
it possible to get a different one?

Thnx!

Honestly, I have no clue. I was really only making a joke. But
who knows?

just search for "New York". I'm not really happy with the latest rev
of GE, at least as far as the tilt goes.
