Broken profile? Speed Dials not showing icons after login

Hi,
it is really weird. At some stage I noticed that I had like four Speed Dial folders in "Other Speed Dials", which all shown the name of my notebook. They have probably been created whenever I tested a new OS and installed Opera. So I decided to get rid of the duplicates and to make a clean start.
Unfortunately the clean start is much cleaner than expected: Whenever I log into the synchronization, my Speed Dial refuses to show icons and folders of its Speed Dial. They are all there - at least they are shown in the bookmarks and under Windows in the Jump List - but I am not able to convince Opera to display them.
Meanwhile the Speed Dial of other Opera instances on other hardware and OSes also refuse to display the icons.
Yes, I did already follow the usual "Uninstall-and-reinstall-procedures" - nothing helped.
What can I do?

Is there no way to get my Speed Dial working again?
Sorry for bumping the thread - but I liked Speed Dial - and am very sad now with an empty screen ... -

What do you mean by 'clean start'? Did you create a new Opera's profile (folder)?
Whenever I log into the synchronization, my Speed Dial refuses to show icons and folders of its Speed Dial.
So you are saying that you have Speed Dial entries but they disappear as soon as you log in to sync? That's it?
What happens if you try to add something to Speed Dial while logged in?

I tried several intensities of "clean start", ie
- deleting bookmark files
- deleting profile folder
- reinstall with profile folder
- reinstall without profile folder
- reinstall after registry sweep with profile folder
- reinstall after registry sweep without profile folder
- installation on a brand new machine that never had Opera installed
Yes, that is exactly what is happening now.
- Install Opera: Speed Dial full
- Log into Sync: Speed Dial empty
When I add an entry to Speed Dial while being logged in, it is stored in the Speed Dial folder (visible in the bookmarks), it shows in the jump list under the icon in the Windows task bar - but it does not show in Speed Dial.

Did you try to reset your synced data? Make sure to have a backup before.

I did not try to reset the synced data yet, as I did not find a good documentation on how to manually restore the different aspects one by one.
What I could certainly try is to make a copy of my profile, to reset synchronization and to see whether this would fix Speed Dial. Would a reset do or should I also reinstall Opera afterwards? Or would a reset and a deletion of the profile do?

After that, if this helps, sync your profile - this should prevent overwriting of your settings, when you sync again in the future.
