      Hello.

      I made a factory backup for my Lenovo laptop: Windows 7 HE.
      After reinstall I downloaded opera, but after installation I am not able to start it.
      At very beginning ( just after format) I was able to run it by " run as administrator". However right now I am not even able to start it once.
      It seems like opera is trying to start becuase opera.exe is appearing in task manager, but only for a very second and then dissapers.
      With Chrome and firefox I cannot have such issue.
      I tried to reinstall it many times, but no success at all.

      Do you know what it may been?
      This issue is freakin' annoying.

        Open your event viewer and see if there are any error messages regarding Opera.

          Also I found out that in SAFE MODE Opera opens smoothly.

            Not a good sign. Safe Mode disables many things from starting. If its working fine in Safe Mode that generally means you've got something running in normal mode that is causing problems; like malware.

            Anyway, what did the event viewer say?
