Hi Larry,  Ted here,  No I still have this problem.   For anyone who has not 
tried this feature, it is great fun..........The kids at the school love it 
too.

After processing your earthquake, in Winquake, I go to the pull down menu 
Display/Modify.....select GoogleEarth..........select either Station or 
Event.    From there GoogleEarth will launch and fly you to the Station or 
Event.   A great addition to a wonderful program.

My set up worked fine, for many months, but For some reason I can no longer 
use Google with Winquake to  AUTOMATICALLY view my Station or 
Events........It worked fine before.

 I get an error message.   "Could not open file C:\Program 
Files\WinQuake\GoogleEarth.kml for reading"

I can make it work if I manually locate a file called GoogleEarth.kml, which 
I found in C:\Users\Ted\App Data\Local|Virtual Store\program files\WinQuake. 
In that folder, if I click on GoogleEarth.kml, Google Earth will launch and 
show both event and station like it did before.   GoogleEarth will launch, 
but this error is displayed.

I did try uninstalling and reinstalling Winquake, but that did not fix it.

Thanks, Ted
