      Opera 21 Problems--

      I had to uninstall Opera 21 immediately because the shortcuts on Speed Dial or web pages wouldn't load. It kept spinning like it was loading but never did. I reinstalled an older version & deleted the Opera 21 folder.

      Could this have something to do with my addons? I have Pinterest, Adblock & Web of Trust installed.

      I have WIN 7, 64 bit. Thx--CJ.

        Did going back to an older version correct the problem ?.

        Does disabling all of your add-ons correct the problem ?.

          I have Win 7, 64 bits and had no problem with the update. I also have Adblock plus. Can I assume what when you went back to Opera 20, everything was okay there. If so, you might want to disable your extensions, and try the update again, to see if, per the question of @linuxmint7, disabling the updates corrected the problem. If it did, then we can guess that the problem came from one of the extensions. If not, then you would need to go back to Opera 20 again.

          Assuming once again in Opera 20 you don't want an automatic update, you may well want to rename the automatic update file. Here's a thread that discusses how to do that. https://forums.opera.com/post/37931

            Thx for everyones help.

            Yes, everything is fine when I uninstall Opera 21 & go back to 20.

            I also disabled my extensions then reinstalled Opera 21, but I still have the same problem: its not connecting to the internet, Speed dial shortcuts & web sites wont load, just spins.

              So things work in 20 (speed dials load, access to internet etc), but all fail in 21 ?.

                Yes, everything loads in 20, Speed dial & web sites work. Works perfectly.

                I always update Opera & never have had any problems until now.

                  Have you gone back to 20 and blocked the 21 update yet, for now ?.

                    Yes, I'm using Opera 20 now & changed my update file to backup.exe. I didn't know that the Speed Dial problem was a known issue.

                    I'll just wait for the next update & install manually. Thx for all your help.

                      Or just rename the file back to 'opera_autoupdate.exe' (when you hear of a newer update) and it will go back to auto updating again.

                      Oh, and no problem. 🙂

                        This Opera 21.0.1432.57 update sounds too problematic for my taste.
                        I'm gonna skip it and just wait until I see what the chatter here on the forum says regarding the next update.
