Cheers, thanks again, i'll probably follow your instructions in your 2nd post if I do anything but i'll leave it as it is for now.

I've known about the double entry in programs and features for a while now but was wondering why this time when I clicked on Update & Recovery in the Opera Menu a few days ago the updated version isn't showing up in Programs and Features instantly as it had the previous 2 or 3 times i'd done the same - no big deal I suppose if everything is working Okay.

Sorry to be a pain but one last question if you don't mind. In my op I mentioned most if not all my Data? was saved to a Flash Drive, I didn't do that as I wouldn't have known where to start, but I did manage using instructions on-line to transfer said Data on to my new Laptop(early January this year), I was was quite chuffed at myself!

The thing is on my new Desktop i've got a Desktop icon which I guess is just a shortcut to all the Data saved onto the Flash Drive originally, and i've never seen a reason to delete it(possibly too scared to), so was wondering if that is a possibly reason why there is a double entry in Programs and Features and the reason it says it was updated 26/02 was that was the last time I clicked on the Icon on my Desktop wondering what the hell purpose it served.

If I was in the right queue when they were handing brains out i'd have just clicked on the icon again yesterday(24/05), and if that date had appeared in Programs and Features i'd have known that was why it had happened, but no muggins here has to ask it on a forum. I'm beyond help

Knowing my ability to make a mess of even the simplest of tasks I saved my bookmarks to my Laptop and Flash Drive first then followed your instructions in your 2nd post and it's all sorted now, thanks

I might as well have asked the wall, thanks gang.

53 of my 62 saved passwords have vanished after a recent crash(in the last hour), it just so happens the 9 that remain are ones I rarely use, if at all.

Anybody any idea what's happened, and will I be able to get them back??

I was only able to log-in to this forum because my password is obvious(well to me)

Any help appreciated.

Stable 90.0.4480.103 - which was automatically updated when I turned my laptop off on the 13/09.

Cheers, thanks for the time and effort you've put into your reply, the thing is though i'm getting on in years i'm only a novice when it comes to Computers and that all sounds rather erm scary.

To be honest I was hoping if anybody replied they'd say uninstall the latest version in Programs and Features then the next time you restart your Computer it will have sorted itself.

I'll read your instruction again, i've already read them 5/6 times and probably give it a go in the next few days and let you know how I get on.

If I decide not to, and leave it as it is, is it doing any harm to my Computer security-wise especially both version being there? Is it better if i'm not sure what i'm doing to leave well alone?

Hi y'all, first ever post so be gentle with me.

In late March I went into Control Panel > Programs and Features and noticed that I had Opera Stable 66.0.3515.115 and another Opera Stable(since updated, currently 68.0.3618.104) listed, strange, I obviously don't need two, i'll uninstall one, what can possibly go wrong!? So I uninstalled the earliest installed one as you would, problem was it uninstalled both, my heart sank, only a few months earlier i'd lost 750+ Opera bookmarks when my previous Laptop had gone from working perfectly well to dying a death within a few days and before I'd found out if it was possible to back-up Bookmarks, everything else was saved on a flash drive thankfully, please don't tell me through my stupidity i'd lost another 250+ more Bookmarks - I used another browser to download Opera(a very very long half hour) and my bookmarks were still there, phew

Oh yeah the question, anybody know why there were/still are two Opera Stable(s) listed, and neither are my recently updated version 68.0.3618.125?
