Welcome

I have had this happen just recently when I would minimize the window. It will minimize to task bar, then I get a dialog box that Opera has stopped working and needs to close, blah, blah. Then it closes itself. But I have to restart it manually.

Lots of crashes on my end as well.

no crashes on my version at all ... I'm running the 10.10 4694 on linux .. and the 10.10 1857 on windows ...

I think mine is the latter. Have set automatic updates but not sure it does them.

you can see which version you're running if you go to the menu "help" => "about opera" there's the version number shown

I am running the latest version.

10.10 Beta 1833

Did you install 10.01 in its own Folder?
Do you use the Windows MSI Installer version or the Windows Classic Installer?

Maybe you should try the latest Snapshot, Carol.

I have 10.01.1844 and everything works fine. Carol, maybe you should uninstal completely Opera, restart your computer and then install it all over again

Reporting errors all the time won't fix your problem unless you do something.

If it's an Opera bug, you can some times fix the problem by installing a newer version of Opera or uninstalling Opera, then reinstall it.

Some times it's a problem with a browser plugin such as flash, shockwave, quicktime, adobe reader or similar. This can be solved by installing a newer version of the plugin or uninstall it and reinstalling it. Deactivating the plugin in Opera can also help sometimes.

Some times it's because Windows is missing some updates. You can solve this by running Windows Update.

Some time's it's because you're using outdated driver software on your computer. You can download the latest version of the drivers from the manufacturers support website.

Some times it's because another program is running on your computer, interfering. You can try closing some programs and see if the problem stops. You can also run a virus scan to remove harmful programs that interfere with your computers operations. Some firewall software will also interfere with your programs. I've never experienced problems when using a combination of a free virus scanner like Avast! Home edition or AVG Free and Windows firewall.

And lastly it might be caused by faulty hardware. If it's the hard drive, you can scan it for errors and run a disk defragmenter. If it's an other component it might need a replacement.

As you can see, just sending an error report without doing anything else won't usually solve your problem.

It's not only you...and the instalation isn't the problem either. Mugs is also having crashes to the point that he has no interest in using Opera.

I think this is a bug that requires some attention on Opera's part to resolve it.

Crash reports help Opera Software figure out why Opera is crashing. This will usually help them avoid the crash in future versions of Opera. Some times they can't solve the problem beacause the crash is caused by other software. But future versions of Opera will also include a crash scanner that will notify you when it's a known crash and it's caused by other software.

Manufacturers of hardware will always have a support website. Usually you'll have have to visit the website of the company that assembled the PC.

I know that Opera doesn't get along with Mcaffee updater. If the updater starts while I have Opera running Opera will stop responding every time.

I know..I love Opera, but I don't have these problems with other browsers.

Does it crash even when you run Opera with no pages open?

Carol, Tab, do you have Opera set as default browser? If not, Opera will crash repeatedly. I found that out. Still had IE as default browser. As soon as I switched and made Opera my default browser, it quit crashing. Now it doesn't crash nearly as often.

Also default.

Then try running Opera with no tabs open and tell me if it'll crash. Try closing it and see if it'll crash as well.

I've seen some graphical corruption in the latest version, but no crashes. And it's never been set as my default browser. Crashing is usually plugin-related for me, but I have them disabled by default anyway now.

Hmmm? Something funky's going on, Carol, Tab.
I'm running the latest Opera 1857 Snapshot with AOL Dial Up as my ISP ... Windows XP on a very old, slow computer with only 256 Meg of RAM and only a Celeron Processor and I'm NOT experiencing the extreme crashes y'all are. I too am using avast and the Windows Firewall.

Carol, have you emptied your browser cache lately? That usually helps when mine starts acting up.

Well, i meant with no open pages. And yes yes yes. If you want the problem solved I need more information about the crashes.

Well, then I'll jump to the next step in troubleshooting. If i can't solve the problem with the next steps we'll have to go back to the first step.

Press F12 and untick Enable Plug-Ins. This will disable things like videos on YouTube and other plug-ins. If you need those, you'll need to repeat the procedure.

Does Opera still crash regularly during normal use?

Yeah that's when the problems started..latest updates. Mugs just posted about his crashing too. Also since latest updates.

Is it a conflict with Adobe flash player? I have had that happen before. Now that I recall, I have had a bit of a problem occasionally since I installed the latest Adobe flash update. And come to think of it, the last time Opera crashed with me was when I had been on Farmtown on Facebook, and then minimized Opera to the task bar. Instead of minimizing, it crashed completely.

Maybe that's why I've been lucky. I've declined installing the Flash Player Update whenever it pops up.

I'm going back to 9.64. Opera NEVER crashed on me prior to 10 - now it crashes daily.

Well, whatever works best for ya'! I just prefer the older version. I never use the Unite feature or anything, anyway.

Yeah - ditto. I hope it all works out for ya'! The last thing you need is computer troubles.

Ah. Seems like you have a faulty Flash player. Try installing the latest version from here.

First uninstall Flash, and then reinstall it
