This means it's not browser-specific, and it's something which is specific to your PC, and no-one else's. Because we're not sitting with you, it's not easy to help. However: this message *can* be caused if Google don't get some data about where you're clicking to get the map (this is normally passed automatically as part of how browsers work). That can happen if you're running some "security", "privacy" or other "anonymising" software (Norton Internet Security, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, AVG Internet Security to name but three). Try disabling that and see if it makes a difference. Note that help from a distance is likely to be extremely vague and potentially limited to just this suggestion.
