Thanks. I'm using version 12.17, with build 1863 and platform win32. The last time I updated, sites would load extremely slowly, and the visual tabs - which are the reason I use Opera - were gigantic. Did I do something wrong? And why do I need to update?

Awhile back I was prompted to update, and the update made the browser dysfunctional. I'm running Windows 7. Do I need to update for the sake of security? How did I find what version I'm using? Thank you.

In order not to receive automatic updates, should the Auto Update Responded box be checked or unchecked? Thank you.

I'm running Windows 7, and pages won't even load in Opera 22. Twice now I have received automatic updates I've had to work around.
