      thankx j7n,

      when adding the two files to the application directory opera starts now.

      I don't understand your statement about chrome relying too much on OS, chrome is working fine without these files...

        SP3 should already have the IPHLPAPI.DLL, which is where I took it from.

        I meant the new Opera build which is based upon a recent version of Chromium. Opera was more portable, and didn't rely on as many files present on the system.

          OK. it requires only WindowsCodecs.dll to run.

            The problem with Opera is that it was really to slow. I hoped they make it as fast as Chrome but not to change the engine.

            Wait & See. Time will tell us if it is a good idea, if not I will use Firefox with all the add-ons, could be as good as Opera 12.15 (and even a bit of 9.5)

                    Because we fit the following criteria
                    Too lazy to find newer torrent of XP
                    Cannot apply money to buying XP by moral or cash limitations
                    Afraid of the service packs breaking our torrent.

                      The Windows XP SP3 update installer can be downloaded for free from Microsoft website or Windows Update. It will update your XP install and won't break anything...

                        Unless you're using one of those "light" versions of Windows (there are utilities to remove features from Windows, but doing so makes it impossible to install service packs), or of course if your system doesn't look "genuine" to MS (which can happen for legitimate reasons, not only because your system is bootleg). If you're in either of those categories, you're stuck.

                            Wherever the program is, so C:\Program Files\Opera\(version)\ on 32-bit Windows (English locales) or C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\(version) on 64-bit Windows.
