@rhaegar You need to install Opera 49 using the offline installer while being offline and block the autoupdate.

Thank you for replying!

Where can i get the offline installer for 32bit system?

How do i block autoupdate?

I do not need to uninstall v50 ? Just install v49 over v50?

Thank you.

Rename opera_autoupdate.exe in the folder for the version you are using/installing under Opera's installation folder.

Just installing 49 should be enough.

That happened to me if edited some profile file but save it with some error.

Did you edit any Opera file?

Follow the Reset/Back up signature's link to find the path and the file/s to back up, then, rename the profile folder and you will start up on a new clean profile.

After that, close and paste needed files.

@rhaegar There seems to be something wrong with your installation, may you wanna try a reinstall.

Following the mentioned steps you will keep your data save until fix any problem and yes, will restore your SpeedDial and any other data.

Upgrade or Downgrade should not impact on the profile data - despite sometimes happens on the Settings -, but you have to have a backup in case something goes wrong.

If the installation is broken repeat the install steps or uninstall Opera - after the backup - and reinstall again.

EDITED
As I reread now, your Bookmarks/SpeedDial, would be fine, maybe there is something wrong in the installation files.

So i followed your advice >> copied the profile folder. renamed it, lauched opera, then copied old files to new profile.

But the same problem again. So i again renamed the profile folder and then just added bookmarks,history, extensions. Then i launched opera again.

So its like brand new installtion. Speed-dial is back to default opera speed-dial, i can open extensions and bookmark manager, i have my history, login data.

My old speed-dials are located in bookmarks manager, in other speed-dials. How do i get them back to the startpage.

The other major problem is my extension are not back. I am copying the old extension folder to the new one, but it keeps getting wiped out. How do i get them back ?

And the thank you leocg, zalex108 for taking the time to help me.
