      When I click on "About Opera" the window opens and it says it's checking for updates. After checking for 2 or so minutes it usually says, "An error occurred while checking for updates"
      Sometimes it actually says that an update is available, but it doesn't provide anything to click on to install the update. I'm copying and pasting examples of both below. Any clues or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

      EXAMPLE 1:
      Version information

      Version: 37.0.2178.43 - An error occurred while checking for updates
      Update stream: Stable
      System: Windows 8.1 64-bit (WoW64)
      Browser identification

      Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36 OPR/37.0.2178.43

      Paths

      Install: C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera
      Profile: C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
      Cache: C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable
      Thanks to everyone who built the new Opera for computers!
