Funny how Opera works just fine on the "guest" account. @esteni, thanks for the suggestion but I just haven't had time or found a spare USB stick to download the old version to use in a portable fashion.

@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...

Opera for WindowsRE: Help! Out of Memory error"
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...

Opera for WindowsRE: 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???????
