      So you do a normal installation of Opera, you can see its install folder under Program Files or Program Files(x86), the icon in desktop and then, when you restart the computer, everything goes away? That's it?

      If so it's really weird.

      How do you install Opera?

                  If you have Opera running on the computer and you only shut off Opera but not the computer, does Opera's icon (and its installation files) disappear?

                    If you download and rn the Portable installer for Opera Beta, is your installation kept after a computer restart?

                      Does this happen with other programs or just Opera?

                              Could you check again but installing it to c:\Opera?

                                I have the exact same problem: I install Opera in the normal way from opera.com on to my PC. It works - until a restart. Then it has completely gone and I install it again... Groundhog Day.
