Thanks for the heads-up :). I just hope that next stable release will solve this problem.

why do you people keep expecting miracles when using an EOL OS like XP just upgrade to windows 8.1 already is there some specific reason you absolutely need to run an EOL OS

My pc is a brand new windows 8.1 pc, I installed Opera to get away IE and Google chrome, never had any issues with Opera except now when there is a message stating "An error occurred while checking for updates"
so please change your wording Mr davehawley

has anyone else got any ideas to rectify this issue yet?

Thanks

It's fixed, and was supposedly a problem that only affected XP, as leocg has already pointed out.
Why exactly should I "change my wording" BTW?

@davehawley, based on the quoted text in @mascotty02's post, he should have directed his comment toward @athlonite instead of you. In any case, that he's having the problem with a new computer and Win 8.1 pretty well lays to rest simply blaming XP obsolescence for the "error" problem, at least in some situations.

Indeed, and I still stand by my comment that XP being an EOL OS is irrelevant in this situation, as Opera still maintain that they support it, and until they officially drop that support it's perfectly valid to query errors that happen when using it.
