Hello there,
As the title said it, when I uninstall Opera from my workstation at work, it makes Excel 2013 not working properly.
Im using an internal software that sometimes require excel to open and run it in the background (i don't do the action to open excel and minimize it, it open automatically in the background). This problem happened since i uninstalled Opera (i was qualifying the browser with some tests before using it).
The errors messages that I've are those one when the software needs to run Excel:
-1st error message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator"
-2nd error message (right after the first one) : "ERROR in GlobalSpecs.read_worksheet: cannot find – Home – worksheet!!!
In order to resolve this problem, i uninstall properly Opera and selected th option "delete all my user data": it doesn't work.
I tried to uninstall again Opera and set IE as my default browser: it doesn't work properly.
So i don't know what things i can do to resolve this (big) problem.
Infos that can help to build a diagnostic:
-OS: W7 Pro SP1 embedded edition
-first of all i installed Opera 53.0.2907.99 then uninstall it (i kept my user data)
-then i installed Opera 36.0.2130.65 and uninstall it after --> Excel problem begin to appear
-I cant do a clean up of the registry because temporary data are loaded in them and they changed often. Those data are VERY important and mustn't change at all when i run my program so im kinda blocked if this problem appear when i lunched my software and i don't know when errors messages can pop up.
-When i open Excel manually, it works well.
So temporarily i install back Opera to avoid it.
If you have any clues or met this kind of bug before i would appreciate the share of informations about it.
Thanks for reading this long post.
