Version 1.3 of World Wind shouldn't have a problem running unless it is due to an older computer / video card. I would appreciate some feedback on this. The latest version removed the texture converter code so the annoying black dos box shouldn't show up.
Software Requirements
The installer should detect and direct you to install these by default. If you are installing these because you believe there is an error, please install in the order listed below.

Google:
Will my computer be able to run Google Earth?
Google Earth takes advantage of the 3D graphics capabilities standard on most PCs. If you are using Google Earth on an older machine, or a notebook computer that does not have 3D graphics capabilities, you may not be able to run the application. We currently do not offer a Macintosh version of Google Earth.
Graphics card requirement for Google Earth
The 3D graphics capabilities of your machine have a lot to do with how well Google Earth performs. Google Earth will work on most graphics cards from the following manufacturers:
* NVIDIA
* ATI*
* 3D Labs
* Intel**
* Matrox
* S3
* The following ATI cards are not supported: ATI Rage Mobility, ATI Xpert, ATI 3D Rage.
** Intel 3D graphics machines can use the default OpenGL version, but work better in DirectX (choose Start > Programs > Google Earth > Start Google Earth in DirectX).
Matrox card users must use the OpenGL version. S3 cards must use the DirectX version.
