My current Opera v90 is corrupted. I need to save Speed Dial/Prefs, uninstall and install a new, clean copy of Opera, and use the old Speed Dial files. All I can find are some speedial.ini files... Opera message is that KERNEL32.dll cannot be found...

@gdnctr Opera Browser is actually v95.0.4635... and something about Entry Point Mitigation cannot be found in KERNEL32.dll

@gdnctr As said, Speed Dials are part of bookmarks, therefore, they are stored in Bookmarks file.

@gdnctr You are probably trying to install a version of Opera newer than 95 in a Windows older than 10.

@leocg I'm on a Win-Pro x64 machine, trying to recover the Speed Dial file(s) from an Opera v95.0.4635 crash. I can easily save Bookmarks, but I remember saving SD & Prefs in an earlier version, when upgrading, and there was a folder which contained that data, and was easily entered into the upgrade, automatically when installing. I need the graphical Speed Dial w/ links file(s).

@gdnctr Assuming you ran a virus scan...

@gdnctr Did you check opera://bookmarks as said?

@electroman00 I did run a Norton 360 Virus scan; results negative.

@gdnctr I installed a recent copy of Opera One (from Opera's website Download page) -- Chromium version:109.0.5414.149 -- and it fixed the problem! Woo Hoo! Speed Dial returned and, with an earlier copy than the one which disappeared. Many, many thanks to you for all your help and advice!

Problem Solved!
