No comment but I would like to know why Opera browser for my Vista operating system doesn't have the free vpn in the settings

Totally unrelated to this topic but the answers is because VPN wasn't available in Opera 36.

The latest (last?) version of Opera 36 for Windows Vista and XP is here.
Use the setup file.

If I install the new version Opera 36 for Vista over the top of the older version 12, will it keep my speed dial present setup, or will it delete them? My wife does not want to lose her speed dials?

Speed dial should be copied over just fine, as should bookmarks and passwords. Newer Opera did not install "over the top" of 12.x, if you let it install normally she should be able to use either one.

Thanks davehawelly, this forum seems a little different from others I've used...I couldn't find where to address you; any-who I 'll give that link a try on Vista when I get home this evening. Over the weekend I did a little more ready up on Opera and found Opera 32 but same issue even though it said free vpn, it appears Opera might have kept me from downloading an older version even though I un-installed do to directory; so hopefully your info will be the charm. I know just enough about computers to be dangerous lol! Thanks Again, let you know if it worked or not.

The VPN was not available on the last version to support XP and Vista.

Just to update those who helped me with this problem:
Installed Opera 32 and my (wife's) bookmarks and speed dials were copied over successfully. tested the new version and ALL sites can be accessed without problems from speed dial!
So my wife is happy again, and I get to have supper!
Thank you all for your help!

PS: Removed Opera 12.18 with no problems, everything is back to normal!

Why Opera 32 rather than Opera 36 as a matter of interest?
They're not a great deal different, but 36 is actually the latest version for Vista systems.
You may find that it will auto-update to 36 anyway unless you've disabled the function.
