Opera not starting

Hi

I had to forcibly close Opera via Task Manager, and now, when I get the start-up options (open last/start homepage, etc) Opera freezes.

It is obvious that one or some of the ini-files is pouched, so I want to know how to start Opera, without removing,bookmarks, passwords, toolbar preferences, search engines and quicklaunch url, if not necessary.

On the other hand, what can the "fresh install" procedures be to keep the above and clean up things like problems with DisQus, mail reply problems (I cannot reply on webmail I get a lot of HTML code instead of a clean page), etc.

Running on Windows 7 x64

Delete operaprefs.ini in your profile folder. That just resets the default preferences.

Thanks for the reply

I did rename the file, but Opera doesn't start, but is active in Taskmanager. Any more suggestions? Maybe the second option to remove garbage, but keep passwords, etc??



EDIT: killed the process, the window appeared, but immediatelly went over to "not responding".
