These guys are experiencing the same but with kmz:

Is there a solution for this?
I've seen similar symptons with Internet Explorer when the Temporally
Internet Files folder gets full/corrupted. The simple fix was to just
clear the folder (using the button in Internet Options)
I am experiencing this in the latest firefox as well, although the
error message is slightly different.
In FF it is saying "somefile.kml cannot be opened, because an unknown
error occurred.
Please try saving the file, and open it from there" (rough translation
from my language)
Now when I save the kml feed onto my desktop I can usually open the
kml file, but sometimes I just see a blink and nothing happens.
I tried restarting the comp, and reinstalling Google Earth as well.
With previous versions, everything was cool.
I tried clearing IE 6's cache but no luck.
When I Save the file and double click on it I get yet again a
different error message:saying "parameter error". I tried it with kml
files from panoramio and such and get the same.
Yet, when I drap and drop the saved kml file, then it loads fine into
GE...
Just to confirm, you downloaded the latest version of Google Earth?
4.2? Can you post a link to a particular file you're having trouble
with? That will help with testing.

Basically, I am having a problem with all kml files it seems.
When I try to open this link in the browser, I am prompted for the
Download or Open it in Google Earth dialog. When I ok Google Earth, I
Get the error "...popular.kml cannot be opened because of an unknown
error." in Firefox.

I haven't gone anywhere! The KML Gurus, though, have been answering a
lot of questions really well, so I have just been monitoring.
This is an interesting error message you're getting. I can't replicate
it. So, here's two things to try:
1) is your video driver up to date?
2) how much video memory do you have?

I think I have the answer...
Just found this message:

Last night I installed the latest GE on another one of my comps with
English browsers, so I could get the exact English error message and
found this post.
Will try this tonight :)

Gyuri's link is currently working. I've shortened it here:
http://gesolution.notlong.com
But primarily, as he said, "Looking at the key for .kmz in the
registry - once again a value
called "Application" is present and set to "googleearth.exe". Delete
this and it all works again."
We didn't do anything on our end to change the file extensions. File
extension settings are handled in the computer.
