In <name>Render Window</name> instead of the usual <location>RenderFrame</location> just completely delete RenderFrame so it looks like <location> </location> Do the same thing in <name>Navigation Panel</name>. When you're through it should look like this:

Just resize the earth window and the bottom navigation thing. I have wincfg set to Enable a Vertual Desktop at 1024 X 768. You can change this and the tools -> options to make it bigger/smaller.
One more thing: let it do it's loading thing w/o clicking on anything. IE, the activeX thing comes up, leave it alone until the "initializing" thing is throug hand then click no.
