Thanks lando - Problem only started after updating to ver 35 xxxxx.50 also with latest 35 xxxx6.37 Will check event viewer and see what happens.

thanks Lando but I haven't changed anything just OK'ed an update to new version of opera, as done several times before without problems. You will have to forgive my lack of techno savyship but how do I see event viewer and what do you mean by extensions? and no, not using private window.

Have been using Opera for years without problems and I am now having frequent page crashes only since updating to 35 (Windows 7). If I have multiple tabs open and try to reopen each tab they have crashed and have to be reloaded, leave the page to go to another tab and when I reopen it the same thing. More than frustrating.
