UK Google Maps Street View problem

Recently I noticed I could no longer navigate in Street View of google.co.uk's map service.

I don't have other browsers available at the moment for testing, and haven't found news items mentioning the problem, perhaps in connection to the Olympics or privacy concerns.

My 12.01 Build 1532 Opera for Windows won't update to the latest Flash version, but that's not the reason as I've found I can have the navigation functionality from google.com.

Here are examples:

http://goo.gl/maps/68K4o (doesn't work)

http://goo.gl/maps/M3BWM (works as expected)

I'm not interested in signing up with Google to report their problem, but would be interested to hear how other Opera users get on with navigating Street View at http://maps.google.co.uk

Seems to work fine with me (both those links and using the map service in general). Using the Linux version of Opera 12.01 (32bit).

Works fine here with no issues at all.

Thank you both for your feedback.

Still working/not working for me, as described, with Flash 11,2,202,235.

Try updating Flash the latest version is 11.3.300.271

If that doesn't help try disabling any extensions if you use any as they may be interfering with things.

The problem has now disappeared. If anyone at Google was on the ball and fixed the problem - Thanks!

I cannot install the current Flash version: at 50% downloaded the installation terminates with "application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)". This is the same for all the downloads I've tried, including the debug version and the dedicated uninstaller.

If I uninstall Flash via the control panel and go to a webpage where the plugin is required, there's the prompt from Opera and the installation works fine, but it's not the latest version.
