Opera 11.51 is locked up

Opera locked up while downloading elements from a presumably OK site about mechanic's software. It won't do anything. The Opera window resized itself and can't be changed. Won't shut down on the red X, but I can kill the window on the task bar. No mouse click effect anywhere on the Opera browser screen. I've turned off and restarted the computer, Windows 7 Pro on Dell Vostro 1700, and deleted and reinstalled Opera. I've killed Opera on the Task Manager. When it starts up, it starts with the offending site/download and I can't get off it.
What can I do to get the procedure that is locking it up cleared?
I'm at a motel using Ethostream (which is unfriendly) but it's worked before and obviously Firefox works because that's what I'm on now.

I would try getting into windows in safe mode (without networking) and opening Opera and clearing the cookies, then in preferences selecting as a Startup option to start with Home page.
Then restart on normal mode.
