windows 7 x64 on other side

nvidia(r) geforce(r) gt 630m graphics 1gb gddr3 memory [hdmi, vga]
12gb ddr3 system memory (2 dimm)


when launch google earth in terminal error:
xlib: extension "glx" missing on display ":1".
xlib: extension "glx" missing on display ":1".
xlib: extension "glx" missing on display ":1".
xlib: extension "glx" missing on display ":1".
#(this repeated 50 times)
google earth has caught signal 11.



apologize inconvenience, google earth has crashed.
bug in program, , should never happen under normal
circumstances. bug report , debugging data have been written
