You may have an onboard graphics controller built into the motherboard and not a PCIe board physically connected to a slot dependent card. Google requires a High definition video processor to replicate Google Earth photos. The resolution needs to be approximately 1600 Pixels x 1200 Pixels or greater. You can get an inexpensive Color Card from TigerDirect.Com, plug it into the slot on the motherboard and attach your monitor to it. If you can get HD resolution 1900 Pixels plus, the visuals are excellent.

I have an Acer Aspire T180E. Google Earth will

Perform a Windows update first to see if there is a Microsoft update for the card. If there isn't, then go to the Acer website, look up your computer, and see if there's an update for the card there. Also, download the various "custom" updates like Directx to install in the computer from the Windows update site.

I am having graphics problems with my IBM Intellistation Z Pro desktop. The graphics card is a NVIDIA Quadro4 980 XGL. Every time I try to open a game, or even Google Earth, I get white and yellow specks...

These yellow specs are called artifacts, and they appear because the graphics card gets too hot. If cleaning out the dust didn't help, I guess there is something wrong with the cooling on the card. Maybe try booting with the case opened, to see if the fan on the graphics card does anything at all. (if it doesn't have a fan on it, you should try cleaning the dust out one more time. perhaps another fan in the system isn't functioning?) If the fan doesn't function, you'll have to either get another one or get a new graphcs card, unless you know someone who can try to repair it.

I hope this helps,
Yannick.

I computer crashes when I try to open Google Earth

It's your graphics chip and memory I'm worried about and whether you have shared graphics memory coming out of that 1.49GB, since you "meet" the Display Requirements and really should exceed them for some functions of Google Earth.
Upgrade your graphics board, cause you may just be squeaking by with only 32MB, as 64, 128, 256, and 512MB have been de rigeur for years now.

The graphic card may not be able to handle the videos being played. The graphic card may need to be replaced. If it is not the graphic card the memory in the computer may need to be upgraded to keep up with the usage of the computer.
