How to Fix Parsing Errors on Google Earth

Google Earth is a virtual globe program from Google that maps out the earth utilizing satellite imagery, GIS 3D globe and aerial photos. Google Earth may sometimes experience an error that is known as a "Parsing" error. A parsing error happens when a program's format of a statement infringes upon the rules of the programming language that is established. This error leads to your computer locking up and freezing. You can fix this by altering a few files within the Google Earth program.
