      Hi folks,

      I am able to open Opera & the GUI appears but the tab just says loading, any other tabs I open just say loading as well, it won't load web pages, speed dial, extensions or any menu item I click. I have done a full uninstall & reinstall & have also tried removing profile info. Even tried the new version from the FTP site today. This seems to have started after the update to version 22.0.1471.50

      I can create & delete tabs bit almost like the browser is hanging, can't find option here to upload screenshot.

        Platform? Is Sync enabled? (If you don't know how to enable it, then it isn't enabled.)

          Thanks for the reply,

          This is on Win 8.1 Pro x64 & I don't use sync as I said the GUI opens & I can click the menus but all tabs just saying loading, can't even open settings or opera://flags Have done clean installs several times but same thing happens, security software is Comodo Firewall 7 & BitDefender AV+ 2014. All other browsers (Chrome, Chromium, Firefox & IE) work fine.

              Cheers for the reply, it weird as I had the same software setup for a while now & no issues with Opera, Found out if I disable Active Virus Control in BitDefender AV+ then Opera loads pages & tabs fine, re-enabling AVC & Opera still works fine until I close it then I have the same issue, will post on Bitdefender forums.
