Title: HummingbirdPC (4.3.8)/windows 10/google earth pro = "Google earth startup error"
Post by: leeland on June 27, 2017, 03:12:21 PM

Is there a trick to getting Hummingbird PC to work correctly with google earth pro on windows 10?

I have version 4.3.8 installed, on Windows 10.  It functions just fine so far.

I also went ahead and downloaded google earth, went to "older versions" and got version 7.1.8.3036 (32-bit) installed


I am opening a waypoint I created, and right click for 'view in google earth' which is followed by the following error


[attachimg=1]


I have tried the 'run as administrator' work around, I have changed the compatibility mode.

Looking for other options possibly.

Thanks,

Lee

I had a similar problem that was resolved when I downloaded version 4.5.5.

With the previous version, I found that it would work if I started Google Earth before trying to view the waypoint.

I was experiencing the same error messages but when I opened Google Earth Pro 7.1.8.3036 (32-bit) first and then opened Hummingbird PC 4.4.6 there was no problems.

feel like a dummy, I didn't even realize there was a newer version available vs. what was on this site.

I installed that and it seems to have resolved the issue!


Thanks for the response.
