      Hello,

      I'm using a laptop with Windows 10.

      I don't remember I installed Opera myself on my computer, but still I have it.

      And I have a problem using it.
      When I click on the Opera logo to open Opera, I get an error message.
      The error message concerns opera_elf.dll.

      The message is in French, but if I translate it to English, it should be something like this: opera_elf.dll is not conceived to be executed under Windows or it contains an error. Reinstall the program or contact the system administrator. Error code: 0xc000012f.

      I don't know what to do.

      Could you help me fix the problem ?

      Thank you.

      Raphael

        @raphaelber You'll need to reinstall or update Opera to fix that.

          @sgunhouse Thanks for your answer. I tried once ot uninstall Opera, but it didn't work.
          Can I reinstall or update Opera without first uninstalling it ?
          Thank you.

            @raphaelber You can only reinstall a program without uninstalling it. Try using the offline installer.
