      Taskbar tabs change color when downloading. This just started, and I don't like it. How can I stop this from happening?

        @bsatz Here it has been happening since almost ever; It shows a green background to indicate that the download is running fine and a red one to show that there is a problem.

        Don't know any way to disable it.

          @leocg The issue for me is that the tab colors don't change back to the original color after the download is complete. I have to close the tabs, and open new ones, to get the original color back

            @bsatz So it remains green? Or red? The download has finished?

              @leocg The tabs are red, and stays red after downloading is finished. This is only for Opera tabs, not for other apps tabs. See screenshot

                @bsatz Make sure that you don't have any pending download.

                    @bsatz Check the download list to see if there aren't any download with errors listed.

                      @leocg Nope, none with errors. Still happening -- is this occurring to anybody else? Maybe I have to re-install Opera

                        @bsatz Now I have a much more serious problem with Opera. I keep getting "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000022" I have uninstalled and installed Opera several times, but keep on getting this error. On Google search I found that I should repair "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package", which I did for 4 of them on my computer. Any other ideas? I am now running Chrome, but want to get back to Opera

                          @bsatz try Run as administrator..

                          btw.. This issue is generally caused by an access error triggered either by particular software or by Windows itself.

                          i've never saw n e one with this error with opera..

                          if you can re-produce the error - try option 2 found here

                            @nvmjustagirl I downloaded and ran Process Monitor, and noted many Access Denied items. I clicked on properties -- but there was no Security tab, as stated in the directions. So I don't know what to do next. I also ran Windows troubleshooting, but that didn't fix anything. I always use my computer as Administrator. Any other ideas? Every other app and program on my computer iw working fine

                              @bsatz said in Taskbar tabs change color when downloading:

                              Security tab

                              lets see if a random file or icon has a securty tab..

                              Right-click on n e file/icon - click Properties - after clicking Properties a window will pop up - Security tab will be one of those tabs..

                                  @bsatz you gotta go to the path of file name..

                                  like this..

                                  Right-click on opera icon - click Properties - after clicking Properties a window will pop up - Security tab will be one of those tabs..

                                  yuo would open explorer - go to the file acting up

                                  looks like loads of file acting up lol *sorry to say..

                                  @lburnout426 may take a look at this later too..

                                    @nvmjustagirl Sorry, I don't understand. No matter where I right click, then click properties, there is no security tab. Looks just like the screen shot I sent -- Event, Process, Stack. No Security tab

                                        Yes, I am enjoying Messiah. I do get the security tab when I click on properties on Opera Icon on my Desktop. But I added Administrator there, but still no luck -- Opera won't open

                                            @nvmjustagirl Thanks for trying. Looks like I am using Chrome, as least until I can get this fixed
