Downloads and Plugins You can play Web Earth Online without any downloads or plugins. However, for additional features such as sound, and the best runnability we recommend that you install the downloads shown below.   Adding Sound Web Earth Online requires a plugin for sound. If you want sound click on the "Yes I want sound - Install JavaSonics Plugin" button shown below and the sound plugin will be installed. Install Sound *Note Installation of the Sound Plugin requires you to re-start your browser.   Reducing Browser Crashes If you are using Microsft Internet Explorer then we highly recommended that you update your browser with the lastest Microsoft Java VM (JVM). Older JVM's have more bugs and tend to crash more when run for extended periods of time. To upgrade your Microsoft Java VM visit Microsoft at: Install the latest Microsoft Explorer Java VM.
