What is wrong?

Forgive my lack of knowledge in all things computery... But what the hell is this??

It's supposed to be the google home page... almost evey website I try to look at in Opera comes up like this???
I've never had this problem before. My connection seems fine. Both IE and Firefox work 100%...

Is anybody else having this problem lately? It's been going on for a couple of days now. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still getting theses screens of nonsense

Your thread title, for a start.

Uninstalling and reinstalling won't fix a corrupted profile. Try deleting operaprefs.ini in your profile folder (See Help, About Opera to find it).

I guess it's not a descriptive title right enough.... But I've no idea what a screen like that is, so I'm not sure how to describe it... Apart from it being wrong.
What is all that stuff on my screen?
You said it's a corrupted profile... What exactly is a corrupted profile? Or a profile for that matter?

It looks like compression errors.
Try disabling opera turbo if it's enabled.

operaprefs.ini is a configuration file that stores all of your Opera preferences.

Deleting it and restarting Opera will reset your preferences to the defaults, which is a lot quicker than trying to diagnose exactly which one of hundreds is wrong.

Do what I said and see if it works. If it doesn't, then post again with a link to a site that shows this problem, and we will try again.

If you have changed a lot of preference settings, and don't want to risk losing them, move the file to s temporary folder, instead of deleting it, then you can move it back again if that doesn't help.

Thanks... It's all working fine now... turbo disabled.

So I'm guessing people can actually read all that page and understand what it means?

Probably. More likely, however, some people can look at that kind of data display and recognize what causes it in a browser like Opera, much like some folks in English-speaking lands can recognize Spanish language without necessarily knowing how to speak or interpret it. Keep in mind that everything you see on a screen is actually stored in a computer as complex patterns of digital ones or zeroes... and it depends on how it's interpreted by software and computer hardware as to exactly what symbols are shown on a screen.

Opera 12.14u (1738), 11.52 (1100) & 10.63 (3576) running on various Windows systems from Win7-64 down through KernelEx4-modified Win98FE (proof that reports of Win98's demise are greatly exaggerated).

See also this thread.

I think we need some links to check this — it may be a problem with specific sites.
