Google earth uninstall problem

Hi
 
A recently downloaded free google earth software version is no longer working, when I try to remove it using add/remove (windows xp ) I'm getting a 'setup exe' error and nothing happens.
I'd like to uninstall and then re-install....any suggestions would be appreciated

    This may sound strange, but sometimes you just reinstall the software and it will either install 'on top', and/or give you an option to remove an existing version first.

    If you like Google Earth, check out NASA WorldWind. Very impressive ui, completely open source.

    I have a brand new dimension 3000 with microsoft XP SP2 home edition, my graphics controller is an intel (R) 82865G, and I cant get google earth to actually show anything once I've loaded it.  I think I am hitting the servers, but it just wont show any graphics.  I cant see the EARTH...  I can type an address in, and I can tell that it is going to the address, but it just doesnt show anything.  I've tried both the default open GL version and DirectX, I messed with the display settings, and even called dell. Dell could'nt help though they wanted 99 dollars for one time phone support.  ...My system has all the requirements of what google earth says it needs to operate, so I have no clue on what to do.. 
               someone smart please help me!!
     
      thanks alot

    I have the same problems,  Have the system requirements and have checked my graphics card but I have never been able to see the graphics on google earth.  I only get the side bar menu etc.  Does anyone know what to do?  I tried all of googles troubleshooting.  My friend has a less updated system and gets it fine.  Help.

    You could see if there is anything in the support forums for Google Earth
     
     
    scroll down to support. Try answers to FAQ and/ or Google Earth sections.
