Videos and gifs don't running on opera 36

A Former User

Hello,
I am e 36 Opera user that works very well, but for some time, the videos and gifs of some site no longer come alive. I did all the forums without finding a solution. What is the problem and how to remedy it to find again the animation of gifs and videos
Thank you for your answers.

@pepito49 The problem is that you are using Opera 36, an ancient version of Opera that lacks security updates and also improvements.

You also probably be using Windows XP or Vista, that misses security, performance and improvements.

Follow the first part of the instructions and see if it helps: https://forums.opera.com/topic/43601/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-windows/1

Upgrade your version of Opera. Older versions of Opera are much less likely to be able to run things like GIFs and short videos.

Hope this helps!

@oliverdavis2006 Opera 36 was the last version to support XP and Vista; if someone is still using Opera 36 they probably need to upgrade their entire OS. If Windows 7-10 won't run on his hardware, I can recommend some reasonably up to date versions of Linux that should work.

@sgunhouse Thanks for your reply.

That's a good idea. I saw a video about using modern software for Windows Vista on YouTube. The one attached is from the technology YouTuber TrigrVoltz. Check it out here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQf3Ah1PMno

Thanks for your cooperation and reply, hopefully your suggestion should work!
