Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Yes, hardware acceleration is disabled--tried it both ways, but usually keep this disabled.
My laptop works just fine with version 12.17.
Perhaps I should uninstall all versions of Opera, delete plugins, clear the caches, remove registry entries and reinstall one of the earlier versions. Any suggestions along those lines of thinking?
Also downloaded the developer pack and it would not play YouTube either--also disabled npapi in this version.
Version: 25.0.1614.5 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: developer
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)
Tried that to start, and double checked again. No extensions or plugins except flash.
Caches & temp folders all emptied and browser restarted--still no workie.
Thank you for the help! Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. Downloaded ppapi and disabled npapi.
More info:
Just played a 1080 YouTube video in Chrome and have been monitoring the connection speed--about 55Mbps. It appears that the video is attempting to buffer instead of starting right away and maybe times out(?). There is no data transfer while Opera attempts to buffer. Also, I can place the mouse pointer along the YouTube time slider and get tiny pop-ups of the video.
Any ideas?
The error message in the YouTube window: "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn More"
Version: 24.0.1558.61 - Opera is up to date

Opera upgrades are usually smooth and seamless, but his time YouTube videos will not play. I get an error message telling me to try again later. I upgraded to the latest Flash player, disabled all plugins except Flash, deleted Flash caches & reinstalled Flash, uninstalled and reinstalled Opera, and was finally reduced to installing Chrome, which plays videos just fine.
Are there any suggestions on how I can get Opera to play YouTube videos? Vimeo plays just fine, but YouTube returns an error message.
