How does one view Google Street View in IE7?

It used to work, but in the past month or so, it hasn't.

Ever hear of Firefox? Chrome? Opera? IE 8 is also out if you insist on
continuing to allow yr computer to be riddled with cancer and AIDS.

Once you are running IE7, you might as well upgrade to IE8, there
isn't the same difference curve like IE6 to IE7.

I had "upgraded" to IE8, but it was such crap that I went back to IE7.

It works fine for me.

Sometimes it's slow starting, but it does work.

What kind of resources does your computer have available?

Tim,
Do yourself a favor and switch to Firefox. You'll thank me for it. You can
customize it in ways that you can't customize IE, and it seems to be faster
and more stable. And it fits your style way more than IE does.

IE8 is perfectly speedy... as long as you don't upgrade to it from a
copy of IE that has seen any use. Other than the fact that
performance is bad if you upgrade to it from a used copy of IE, it's
perfectly fine - just use compatibility view for any sites that break
in IE8 but worked fine in IE7 and you'll never notice the difference
if you don't use any of the new features or go to sites that broke in
IE7 but work fine in IE8 (granted, this only happens if the webmaster
has decided not to support IE in the first place and hasn't used any
HTML 5 or highly advanced CSS).

What about available memory (not just memory installed) swap space
available and like that?

Works fine for me on IE7. A little slow but otherwise it loads.

Streetview requires a relatively new version of Flash. Perhaps you had it
before, and somehow lost it when you downgraded from IE 8 to IE 7.
