Thanks for all the replies to my previous post. I have now fixed IE9 by switching to 'use software renderind instead of GPU rendering' under Advanced tab in Internet Options. Seems to have fixed all of the graphics issues I have been experiencing and Google Streetview now works too.
Firefox works without any tweaking!

what GPU do you have ?

I still have the same issue on XP/IE8 and it doesn't have that option

Tools...options..advanced...General Tab...Tickbox "Use Hardware Acceleration when available"

^^ I don't have that option on the XP/IE8 machine (unless I'm going blind ) and thats with a Nvidia GTS250

it is on my win7/IE9 machine, but that one works fine without ticking it....
(Nvidia GTX285 overclocked)
