tried another browser? FireFox or Google's Chrome? I.E is kak...
-
Shouldn't need to log in?
I'm not sure what is causing that error message. But I would try going on google maps on a different browser.
I use google chrome myself. Other popular browsers include, mozilla firefox, opera and safari.
See if any of those help.

You don't need to log in or unlock anything on Google maps, never fill in anything that says you should.

Surprise surprise IE being crap as usual! If your not a fan of Chrome, try FireFox or Opera.

Sorry Cem. Far to complicated for me ::) ::) ::) Thanks for the advise though :y
-
Most odd ... working for me no problems on both IE & FF, streetview as well .. just click and its there .. :(
EDIT :
Hang on ... I see something .... are you going google - click maps OR from a favourite ???
My guess is a favourite and you have a "full stop" too many at the end .... looking at the first post .. :)
Try
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
:)

Looks like I'll have to use No 1 daughter's laptop if I want Google maps ::) :y :y

Its really not that hard Andy...
Browse (Click from My Computer) to following location CEM mentions:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
Then open the host file, and past in those addresses above, save and try again. Easy peasy :y

And i gave it a go... now i do cam covers, shocks, exhausts.. ;)
What your pasting there is not dangerous, easier way is do this:
Click Start > Run
Paste this in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
You will see this popup:
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/803897/Omega/Misc/hosts.JPG)
Open the host file in notepad, and paste the IP's in at the bottom of the text file.
To be extra safe, copy a backup of the host file elseware :y
