Exactly the same problem. One day, Google Earth stopped responding, with a 
message: "DirectX mode not supported."
Following your list, the display was OK, no other program was running and 
DirectX is the current 9.05... (actually reloaded, no difference) and working 
good according to dxdiag.
Operating system XP - Internet Explorer 8 (refreshed).
I uninstalled and reloaded Google Earth, no difference. The files and folders 
in "Documents and Settings...GoogleEarth" were erased - and never rebuilt.
The message in debug.log is always the same: 
"[0414/163118:WARNING:backend_impl.cc(1875)] Destroying invalid entry."
The antivirus was disabled, no difference.
What do I look for???
