Can someone reply and let me know how to completely (registry, folders, etc.) remove an Opera installation so I can try loading again?

@dihlen Did you try installing Opera in C:/Program Files?

@dihlen did you try delteing opera with the help of the system control page? There it should delete everything that belongs to opera. But after that better check if all folders are really deleted and then a new isntallation should be possible

@dihlen did you use the system control manager for deleting opera from your computer? Usually that deletes everything.
But you can also look for "opera" in the search bar and deinstall all folders that might still be there manually.

@leocg I reinstalled and did clean installs, I didn't notice it asking me to change the installation location. Did I just miss it or is their a special install?

@lukas425 I went through control manager, but I haven't searched the entire file system for Opera directories.

@leocg Incredible. I deleted the last install through control panel. I told it to delete all my data (again). I had it install for all users and put it in "Program Files."

Same behavior, freezes after one minute. To the best of my knowledge there were no PC changes in the last few days.

@leocg I take it back. It appears that installing for all users and in Program Files" has resolved the issue. I still wish I knew what caused it.

Thanks for the hint.

@dihlen so you just had to install it for all users and in Program Files?

Sounds interesting and I can also not tell what the problem was but I guess its good to know in case anyone else faces the same issue
