1. Click Here to download Google Earth to your computer. Click the Agree and Download button.
2. Once it has finished downloading (less than a minute on a broadband internet connection) start the Google Earth application.
3. Close the Tip of the day box.
4. In the menu along the top, click on the View option and make sure that the Toolbar and Sidebar options are checked.
