How do I know that I have an "N" version of Windows?

If you right-click on the "Computer" or "This PC" shortcut and goto "properties". (Basically "System" in the Control panel), under Windows edition, it should have an "N" after Windows 7 Pro.

@ParaNormal Then, that's it, most probably. Your OS can't play those codecs and since Opera depends on the OS to play them, it also can't play.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Media Player. As in, turn the feature off and then turn it back on.

Click the Start button
Click Control Panel
Click Programs
Click Turn Windows features on or off.

Look in there to see if there's some Windows Media codecs feature or something too.

@ParaNormal Try installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546. It shouldn't let you install it if you don't have an "N" version, but give it a shot just in case.

Also, create another user account on Windows, log into it and try Opera and IE there just to see if it's something messed up with your user account.

I wonder if something hosed the Windows Media Foundation files on your Windows.

You do indeed have Service Pack 1 installed for Win7 and have Win7 all updated, correct?

Did anything else happen at the same time Opera updated when you starting having this problem? As in, did you update any other programs or install any new programs? Any system crashes?

It sounds like you need to reinstall Windows.

I installed Google chrome, it normally plays all the videos, but Opera does not. Why?

@ParaNormal Because It may cost lots of money.
