Help! Out of Memory error"

Interesting to read these comments, because I get the same "out of memory" message opening Opera ON A BRAND NEW LAPTOP with Windows 8.1 and 6 GB of RAM. In addition to a few apps, I've downloaded Firefox, Open Office, and a couple of others -- and everything else works wonderfully. WHAT'S THE DEAL? Maybe it's the new Opera and I should revert to the older version I've enjoyed for years on other PCs... Maybe upgrading to Windows 10 would help???????

What others?
Are you sure no adware? -

I am having the same problem, running W 8.1, I previously used the Beta branch but it started happening there and was not fixable so I switched to stable... till the last (31) update, now the Out of memory! erorr is back again. I think I will have to go back to v30 and stop the autoupdate, it did not happen on that one. Also, uninstalled Opera yesterday, cleaned everything from everywhere (program files, appdata, registry), installed Opera again, copied over login data, bookmarks etc. Still happening. So nope... either v30 or another browser is the solution for me. Shame, since I've been using Opera while it still had built-in ads (either v6 or 7, can't remember) and the way it is now is just sad.

@ riordan - I tried v30 after wiping everything and it didn't work for me. Good luck! THE next thing I'm going to try is to go back to MS Security Essential anti virus to see if Bit Defender AV screwed something up. May I ask what anti virus you are running?

As I wrote before in a previous post, there may be a conflict between BitDefender and Opera.
I was using Avast but got tired of the annoying pop-ups.
It's a shame because BD is one of the highest rated AV's.

I'm using Eset Smart Security. But I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with it. As I said, v30 or lower works for me and I get no error. Something must have changed for 30>31 that does this for me.
I would be more willing to blame some extension/s for that than AV. I think I will try a pure install without any settings carrying over and no extensions and see how that goes. Hope is pretty minimal though.

Ah, @Browzer1 and @rollobsam, I am running BitDefender, plus Comodo Firewall and Malwarebytes. My wife's Win7 desktop also has BD, but it's the older version of Opera that must not have a problem with the AV software. And, @rafaelluik, I'm very careful what goes on my new baby - the only other programs downloaded so far are Crap Cleaner, Irfanview, Dropbox, Java, and WordWeb.
So, do I give up on BD? Seems a shame, Opera's shot itself in the foot by upgrading...

OK I'm beginning to think its Bitdefender. I noticed that it changed my folder settings to 'hide' various file types, something I always unhide. The timing would be right as well.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm running Comodo Firewall as well for a year, without issue.

@rollobsam, not sure what you mean by BD "changed my folder settings to 'hide' various file types." Not certain about going back to Avast and may try Avira again...

In mean that in Windows Explorer you have the option of viewing many element of the files and folders or not. I believe BD changed mine because I am sure that WE wasn't set to Hide System Files etc.

@ esteni - I myself have v12 installed already, but I assume that it would have major security issues. No?

OK, I uninstalled Bit Defender and installed Avira and all my Opera problems are gone! Ha!

Hiteckee, theoretically, you might not need a USB drive to do that.
Apart from using memory cards, you can theoretically install that on a partition on your hard drive. I'm not sure though

Hello! I recently started having this same issue. Ran out of memory.. I hardly find that possible. I have Win10 32GB Ram and 6TB hard drive space... what I want to know is this a gremlin in Opera?
