Graphics driver???

[NikkiB]

If my computer keeps freezing when I use Google Earth or Real Arcade due to "graphics driver commands" is there something I need to reconfigure on my computer?
Help!

google earth is notorious ... if you shift views round too quickly it freezes - just work slower

real arcade - i'm not familiar with - but online
applications especially graphic intensive ones depend heavily on your connection speeds.
if your processor is expecting information that hasn't downloaded yet ...
both GE and RA are basically just that

try upgrading your graphics drivers ...
but don't expect too much

don't you think this info is getting a little long in the tooth?
the example expects as much as 128Mb ram WOWEE!!!
and assumes onboard graphics.

This was good advice when the P3 came out
and google earth was still called google big-bang

GE has a pretty low spec but does require a dedicated graphics card
Operating system: Windows 2000, Windows XP
CPU speed: Intel Pentium PIII 500 MHz
System memory (RAM): 128MB
200MB hard-disk space
3D graphics card: 3D-capable video card with 16MB VRAM
1024x768, 32-bit true color screen
Network speed: 128 kbps ("Broadband/Cable Internet")
