Does it automatically update it when you open GE, or will I need to re-install it from Google?

Can not use. GE will start loading, but when it gets to loading MyPlaces, it quits. I don't get a "Google Earth has unexpectantly quit would you like to report this error...". It just quits. Help please!

I haven't experienced that before. I'm not sure what to suggest, other than uninstalling it and reinstalling it again.

If that doesn't work, hopefully someone else can help you out.

Try renaming or moving "myplaces.kml". If GE loads ok than something in your placemarks messed it up...
