Hi Laura,
I tried it both ways. I started out using the original project I created using
QGIS 1.8 and, of course, it didn't work. So I recreated the same project using
QGIS 2.2 and I got the same error.
After playing with plug-ins for a while I found one (TileMapScalePlugin) that
would add a street layer. However it is lower resolution that I would like and
the three layers to choose from (osm_bikemaps.xml, osm_landscape.xml, and
osm_mapnik.xml) are really not what I was looking for.
I also received a response from André who wondered if I was trying to map too
large an area (like the entire U.S.). I am trying to obtain a Google/Yahoo map
for an area in central California that I have been able to successfully map in
QGIS 1.8. I doubt that the area I am trying to map is too large.
I suppose I forgot to mention it but I am running Windows 7 32 bit.
Thank you.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
It's not clear to me from your message whether you're still using the file you
created in QGIS 1.8 or not. Please start with a fresh file, load Open Street
Layers as you have already found its new menu location in 2.4 then use the OSM
plug-in and let us know what happens.
You may also want to search through this list's archive as I recently posted a
similar question on the use of OSM with QGIS 2.4 on Win7 64-bit.
