Though you say you have cleared the cache...
There is a current issue noted on the 2nd sticky which you may have
seen.
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-Troubleshooting/browse_thr...
though it deals with map view and your problem is satellite view maybe
clearing the cookies as is mentioned in the sticky would help.
Another options is to see if any add ons are causing the problem by
opening an IE explorer window without add-ons you can do that by
creating an icon for IE with -extoff
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff
HOW TO MAKE ADD-ON FREE IE ICON:
On your icon that you clk to start IE
Hold your ALT key and clk the ICON (the properties window will open)
In the target line add -extoff note there is a space between the end
and the - so it will look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff
Clk it and see if it loads
Or try firefox 3 (sometimes works when IE doesn't)
