Do you have set any password on your windows account? I kinda remember some old problems with passwordless accounts, maybe this is somehow related. (Opera encrypts saved passwords using windows account credentials.)

@baransekeroglu Don't remember have seen such message before. Opera doesn't seem to be able to write on your disk.
Can you save your passwords in other browsers?

What about cookies, they are saved?

@baransekeroglu So we can't really say for sure that cookies are saved.

@baransekeroglu It should but if you need to login again - supposing that you didn't logoff - then cookies or, at least, some cookies may not being solved.

Are you using any third party software that may be deleting your data?

Temporarily create a new account on Windows to test with, log into it and test Opera there. Opera will get a fresh profile there. Don't enable Opera Sync or install any extensions. Just test to see if everything gets saved in browsers.
