You might try searching the forums, there are possibly some others with
the same problem, and there's a few very knowledgable posters who might
have an inkling.

It seems to work for lots of people. Some machines don't have a 3D card
capable of working due to age, others have machines which sound like they
should fly but don't. The project is still in its infancy, and there are
bugs aplenty.
The thread "Video Card Compatability List" at
http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/forums/index.php?showtopic=7
might be a good starter for 10.
General advice would be
- make sure your machine meets the minimum spec listed on the NASA site
- download and install the latest video drivers for your 3D card
- ensure your DirectX is the latest available
- check for DirectX problems; run the tool at
Start->Run->dxdiag
and make sure the demos are working and no errors are reported
- if you're not using World Wind 1.2d (latest current version) you
can download it from the link at
http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/forums/index.php?showtopic=715
- cross your fingers !
If you still don't have success, try posting details of the error in the
support forum. If you include detailed description of your setup (you can
attach the text file generated by dxdiag, it seems pretty detailed !) this
will help. I would also include a screen-shot to show the symptoms
exactly. Before taking the screenshot, click the location icon to show
lat/lon/altitude etc, and press Ctrl-D to turn on some useful debugging
info.
Best of luck.
