Nurdlinger,
Try setting the photo page or paper option to the smallest possible that will still show your entire photo.
That's what worked for me with Microsoft/Kodak "Imaging for Windows" that came with Win2000.

I can't get the image thing to work (crashes the program) but they let you create a link, here. The pushpin shows where in the building my apt. is located. Notice the pineapple palms on the street to the right, which I love. There are several blocks down to the walking path lined with them.
My front room window overlooks the treed courtyard, which also has a lot of lovely plantings.
The car right behind the building, parked at a kind of slant, is mine.

Wow these pictures are really cool, I'm glad everyone is posting their homes from the air! I didn't even notice the 2d option until after I saw these pictures, this is so cool! The overseas pictures a really cool as well. Come on everyone, join in.
Rich I love your garage/workshop I'm totally jealous, it's huge! Someday when we move out of the city, I want a house with a HUGE garage as well. As for our back alley way, all the trash receptacles, power lines and garages are hidden behind the houses so you can't see them from the street. About 95% of the houses in both Minneapolis and St. Paul are on the alley way system.
Here our house in 2D, it looks like this picture was taken a few months earlier right after the snow melt just at the very start of the spring green up. Hey look you can even see my blue truck behind the house (red x at bottom).

It get's even cooler!
And downtown is really cool in 2d, I'll have to go visit some other cities tonight in 2d, I love this. I've marked my two most favoite deco downtown buildings, both built in the late 20's. The upper one is the Rand Building and the lower one is the Foshay Tower.

Thanks Robert!
Robert was kind enough to make my link into a pic on his end, so I'm posting it here!

As I recall, the Liveearth 3D feature won't install on anything earlier than Windows XP. Or maybe Vista. Anyway, it won't go on my W2K machines either.
2D
I have XP and cable modem connection too and it fails every time for me as well. Runtime error, terminated in an unusual way, and even seems to have affected my system stability some.
But. Here's my place in 2D.
I live in the forest. I'm the white square roof you see just to the right of the pointer - a 1939 Bungalo style house - home to the Forrest Cove Way Imperial Laundry Studio and Phonograph Archives.
This is a very cool thread, Robert. Your shots are amazing. This is as close as mine will zoom in, and of course, 2D.

Isn't the Rand building the one we visited in 2001 on the Monday after the convention?
No Virtual Earth picture of Groningen, even only blurry pictures of the whole city. Google Earth is better but still a bit blurry. I live where the "Untitled Placemark is" LOL!

I tried, but not able to get as clar and detailed a picture as the rest of y'all.
This is so fun!
I'm finding there are three ways to view scenery here.
3D view (slow and a little buggy yet)
2D view (like google earth)
2D Birds Eye view (really COOL, like nothing I've ever seen before).
By far the most fun and most detail is in the 2d Birds Eye View. At this point its mainly set up for the major metropolitan areas, but as time goes on I'm sure the whole earth will be covered. I have found every place I have ever lived so far and the resolution in the Birds Eye View is amazing.
Here is what you select in the interface to get the Birds Eye View...

Europe...
What an interesting find! I have an Apple computer and cannot install the 3D add-on. However, I've found that I can use the 2D Birds Eye View when using Firefox so I can enjoy the best part of it. Now I have looked around in various places and found that Europe is not very well covered. Many places in England are accessible with Birds Eye View, but outside that area there is not much to see. In the Netherlands parts of Rotterdam and The Hague can be viewed, but not Amsterdam. Other places I tried without success: Edinburgh, Dublin, Brussels, Paris, Berlin.
