Hmm, random shot in the dark here, go to the O menu, settings, delete private data, clear your speed dial pages so you have a clean speed dial, restart opera. Make sure in delete private data that passwords manager is unticked, along with e-mail passowrds and password protected pages. Everything else keep ticked. When you restart opera try making new speed dials, see how it goes
I already tried that ... I also removed Opera and re-installed it .. But of course that didn't help because he kept the same Speed Dial miniatures as when I had it installed the first time ...
Could it maybe be something with Flash or Java or something like that ?! Shockwave maybe ??
I got them all installed and Up to date but still ... could that maybe be the problem ?
Opera 12.16 build 1860 on Windows 8 (and I'll be sticking with version 12 and not 'upgrading')

Thnx allot dude
It worked ... I just deleted the whole Opera file in the Appdata/Local folder and the Appdata/Roaming folder
It worked thnx
I had the same problem with Opera 10.54 under Win XP - the speed dial page thumbnails which had been fine suddenly and for no apparent reason all looked like I had "no images" selected but I hadn't.
Read the thread above and found the path to application data folder to follow the advice of removing the thumbnails folder and found there was no such thing as a folder called thumbnails....
So I created a new empty folder with that name and went back to speed dial where one by one I selected 'reload' and hey presto all the thumbnails went back to normal.
Spooky things computers.......

Actually. I've tried with a brand new home Opera folder, backing up the old one, and the result was: yesterday the speed dial thumbnails were looking normal, and today they don't: speedial.png
So, the problem must reside somewhere else than in the thumbnails folder. Maybe some of the preferences (that I was changing yesterday, before the problem started) is interferring with the proper functioning of speed dial?
Thanks a lot.
[SOLVED]
Ok, I found the solution. It's here: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=552821 ("Fit to width" must be unticked in the Preferences)
By the way, this is fucking disgusting, sorry to say. Thumbs down for Opera developers.
