Hello,
I have a problem to open opera. When i try to open it it shows me this: "Can't open user profile directory, because you lack sufficient privileges. You might want to contact the administrator of this machine".

Can someone help me with this problem?
Thanks

It's exactly what it says on the tin. Your Windows user account does not have full access to to the directory where Opera has tried to save its profile. You must give your account access to that directory or Opera will not be able to run.

Go to Opera's installation folder, right click on 'launcher.exe' and 'run as administrator'. Does Opera opens if you do it?

I found just "launcher", but i can't see any "exe". I tried to run it as administrator but it shows me same message that i wrote previously.

Have you tried an Opera reinstall?

Is this your personal computer or someone else's? Who is the administrator? You can reinstall using the portable option (storing the settings in the installation folder instead of the user folder).

Does it work if you do a standalone installation?
