First connect to the internet, launch GE, and clear its disk cache: tools > options > cache > clear disk cache > OK
◦ In GE, make sure that the borders and roads layers are switched on; zoom to the affected area; and systematically ‘sweep’ it at an appropriate level of resolution. As you do this, the background imagery is cached to disk.
◦ Next time you open your computer, the imagery will still show, even if you are offline
