Sounds like a directory or file permission problem. This is how this feature works. 
When the user uses either the Display/Modify / GoogleEarth / Station or Event menu 
items WinQuake should create a file called GoogleEarth.kml. This file should be 
located in the WinQuake root directory. WinQuake then makes a system call to open 
GoogleEarth with the first parameter being the full directory and file name to the 
kml file.

So WinQuake needs to be able to create the file and GoogleEarth must be able to read 
the file in the WinQuake root directory. The first thing to check is to see if 
WinQuake is creating the GoogleEarth.kml file. If the file is there try double 
clicking on the file. This should open GoogleEarth and then zoom to either the 
station or event location.
