I'm running Opera 9.64 more-or-less straight out of the box -- No user-agent spoofing seems to be needed, and GoogleMaps is working fine, including Satellite and Street View.

I guess you should check that JavaScript and plug-ins are enabled, and maybe poke around in the about:config settings if you've ever previously tweaked them. Google Maps Help wasn't very clear about browser dependencies, but the only thing that's clearly needed is JS.

Failing that, the only thing I can think of would be to uninstall, completely delete your Opera profile from C:\Documents and settings\<username>\Application Data\Opera --after saving off your bookmarks, etc.-- and then re-install clean.

[edit] Cross-posted. I'm on XP, so you may be on to something with the OS difference, there. [/edit]
