Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Extra info (may be of importance): Due to my work on websites, and being able to see how they look in different browsers (also testing them out), I have the following browsers also installed:
Chrome = 51.0.2704.106 m (64-bit)
Torch = 7.0.0.11490
Citrio = 50.0.2661.271 (5791/2)
Avast Safezone = 1.48.2066.114
Safari = 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)
IE 9 = 9.0.8112.16421 64-bit edition including updates 9.0.14 (KB2809289)
No, that doesn't make Opera crash, I tried all items in the menu on the left.
Note: when I open History, there is no problem. However, the moment I click the button on the upper right "delete history" (in the history window) it crashes.
Opening "settings" has the same effect, it crashes Opera.
It seems to me that Opera crashes the moment it needs to connect with the settings area.
I get a pop-up window saying (I translate):
"Opera browser has stopped working.A problem has occurred which prevents the program from working properly. The program will be closed and a message will be shown when a solution is available."
From that moment on, I can't open a normal browser window anymore (it instantly crashes, probably because Opera remembers the last tab).
I need to work around, opening a private window (right-click the icon in the taskbar), then go to Menu (top left), and choose "New window". After this, I can close the private window, and continue in the normal new window I have opened.
(which still prevents me from opening "settings" of course.
Note:
Ik have already done things like uninstall, and repair, and installing a clean new (latest) version, newly downloaded from Opera. It makes no difference. I have even tried installing the Beta version, which has exactly the same problem.
This problem started more or less one month ago.
Since Opera is partly Chrome based, I'm beginning to think it may have something to do with CHrome updates?
I have noticed, several months ago, that Chrome no longer supported the Unity Player, due to an update.
This poses some problems for me, since Opera is a very easy browser for me, also to keep bookmarks, and have a clear overview of my websites and stuff. I am also logged in to Opera, to maintain a backup of several things, including bookmarks. But now that I can't access settings, I can't set it to work according to my preferences.
Do you have any extensions installed? If so, did you test with them disabled?
No, I never had any extensions installed ...
Hi everyone.
First of all, I am dutch speaking (from Belgium) but I can handle English pretty well.
I have searched the forum and I can't find a thread concerning Opera crashing when opening "settings".
I have this version installed: Versie: 38.0.2220.41
Updatestream: Stable
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)
It located itself when installing in C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera
Now, I can't enter the settings tab at all, I can't make changes, and I can't delete history and so on ...
When it does crash (while attempting to open settings, or deleting history), I have to go to my taskbar icon, and rightclick, and choose "new incognito window".
From there on I can go to the top left menu in the brwoser, and select "new window".
After doing that, I can close the incognito window, and keep the last one open.
Finally, only then can I begin to use the normal browser again.
Of course, I can never attempt to open settings or history (unless I want the whole game to start all over agian) 
Are there any solutions please? Thank you.
