<![CDATA[Error Message? Application error. The application was unable to start correctly (Ox0000022) Click OK to close the application.]]>all of a sudden I'm getting this error message when I try to open Opera:

Application error. The application was unable to start correctly (Ox0000022) Click OK to close the application.

Can someone please help this old Luddite - what's going, on, how do I fix this? If I have to re-install Opera do I lose all of my bookmarks? Thanks.

I searched various sites and forums and found that others tried removing all traces of Opera (including associated hidden folders and registry keys) from their computers with about 50% success. Others renamed various Opera folders or installation/upgrade files with some success.
There've been so many problem with Opera compared to other browsers I've used that I'll just use Brave for now and see if I can resolve the problem later when I have more time to investigate and 'test'. My other devices w/Opera installed still show the sync'd speed dials and bookmarks from my computer install. It's just the Windows version that's a repeating problem.

I have to re-install my speed dials one by one but that's OK. Thank you again for your help with this!!

That has me confused, too, I'm afraid. Whatever it is, it works on Windows 10. I'd try Mini first.

I downloaded GX - it recognized my name but it didn't ask for my username or password -

I was able to synchronize my settings and get everything I needed. It worked with Windows 10 for me. Good luck!

I think this is why you 2 are getting an error message as it appears that MS is trying to knockout the little guys. I like Opera and it has a reputation of being one of the top 10 most secure of the browsers which are still left. If Republicans get back in power, I 4 one hope that they do some hard trust busting on these big companies like MS and AT&T!!
