I had just done a clean install last week due to another problem.  Anyway, once I got everything set up again after the clean install, Opera was running fine until this morning when I was greeted with the following error:</p>
<p dir="auto">Profile error occurred<br />
Your preferences cannot be read<br />
Some features may be unavailable and changes to settings won't be saved.</p>
<p dir="auto">I rebooted and started Opera Developer again only to get the same error.</p>
<p dir="auto">Any suggestions?</p>

I realize a clean profile will correct the issue, but I'd rather try to fix my current profile because I really don't want to go through the whole setup and configure exercise again for all my tabs and such.  Although, I appreciate your suggestions.  Thanks.</p>

What about reinstalling Opera?</p>
