      I tried to open Opera today (it was latest version) but it wouldn't run.
      A black square appeared in the centre of my desktop with the big O that usually shows up when Opera is updated, but it hanged and crashed, the box disappeared and Opera never ran.

      I tried to clear cache and restart, but... Then backed up User folders and manually cleared installation Opera folder and reinstalled but in vain!

      Any advice? I have everything tied up to Opera and feel kinda stripped naked now! lol

            I have the same issue here. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but nothing helping. Has anyone had any luck working out the problem?

              @melissaharvey Try Revo unistaller to remove Opera from your system, then try installing Opera again. Simply deleting files/folders leaves crap behind. After running Revo to uninstall Opera, be sure to run the extra option to clean out all traces of Opera from Registry, etc. Then try reinstalling Opera again.
