Google Earth Problem

On my old computer with Win XP I could go to Google Earth and use the GE
flight simulator. My new computer with Win 7 doesn't seem to work that way.
I have downloaded Google Chrome and have a shortcut to Google Earth
http://maps.google.com/maps?ftr=ear...source=en-mapshpp-na-us-gns-erth&utm_term=evl

I have Googled Flight Simulator for GE and they say use Ctrl-Alt -A or
Ctrl-Win-A or Ctrl-A but none of those brings up the aircraft ability within
Google Earth. Is it Windows 7 that is causing the problem

You seem to be having trouble with a Google application. How about
asking Google?

He asked the same question in alt.windows7.general and I told him there that
it worked fine on my Win7 notebook. I guess he really didn't believe me that
it wasn't a Windows problem, so he decided it was an IE problem. Maybe next
he'll try Google for help. Or not :)

I've obviously checked Google to have tried the recommended shortcuts "I
have Googled Flight Simulator for GE and they say use Ctrl-Alt -A or
Ctrl-Win-A or Ctrl-A but none of those brings up the aircraft ability within
Google Earth. Is it Windows 7 that is causing the problem?"
