I can honestly say I have never come across a page that doesnt work with Opera 9!

Well, I won't be opening any new threads on the topic. I can't!

[dotnetter]

Just installed Opera. Obviously it'll take a little while to try it out.

Strangely, on Opera CUK Forum does not show a "New Thread" button. It has a Thumbs-Down icon where the New Thread should be. Is it trying to tell me something?

Also, it told me I needed Flash to see stuff, then sent me to Macromedia Deutschland to get it. Installation Tip no. 1: make sure you are in your own country before installing Opera!

lol well obviously I didnt get them globalisation problems, installing flash is pretty standard it's the same with FF too!

I would urge you to give it a try if you can, I mean I tend to go for the best tool I find, I'm not one of these evangelists that promote software for political agendas, I just gave opera a try and loved it!

Just find it far more stable, resource efficient and generally quicker at doing things than both FF and IE.

I used to use Opera a long time ago, but I got tired of the number of sites, including important sites like online banking, that just wouldn't work under it. No doubt that fault of incompetent overpriced consultants doing the web sites, not Opera's fault, but I had stuff to do.

Now I'm just jumping on it because I absolutely detest the growing tendency for web sites to detect which country I'm in and speak to me in the language they think appropriate. Just because they can, I suppose. Why not at least gove me the choice?

You are a god!

Problem fixed? HTH

Lol ok your choice, but beleive me I was a big FF fan for ages, until after one update it started chewing up copious amount of ram if left open for a few hours. And it's still not fixed.

Opera does everything FF does better and faster. I do miss FF extensions though and always crack out FF for Firebug

Are you sure it says MSB and not MBS??

If its MBS, boot in safe mode and delete these files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mbssm32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\mbsrm32.exe


then reboot.

(Or, rather than delete, maybe rename to mbssm32.old or something just on the off chance it's not causing the problem, in which case you can rename back later in necessary.).

You are a god!

Went to the Opera website, clicked on Features: it gave me a big list of features in German (I am connected in Germany but my PC is all in English).

No sign of a choice of language.

If that's how they run the User Experience, I'll leave it for now.

Forget the big ridden Firefox, install Opera 9 and have pain free borwsing for the rest of your life.

FF is only good for using Firebug and if left open eats more and more ram until my machine grinds to a half requiring a restart

Install firefox. Open Google and search for the problems you are getting. Get rid of the spyware. Never use an MS browser again

Well i've had IE back for one night now, and guess what...I have a virus.

It's called MSB and it is a web page that keeps popping up every 20 seconds telling me I need to make a payment for a site I previously visited but doesnt give the site name. I used Norton and Ad-aware. Norton didnt even find it and when ad-aware got to it it crashed. It makes me unable to go on web and you have to veiw everything in minimise as it goes on top. I would download Mozilla again but as I said its disabling my internet so I'm stuck!

I need advice, please!

IE7 just seriously broke the clients PC i've been using.
After logging on explorer refused to start up meaning no desktop or task bar or start menu.

Kept getting an error along the lines of:
"iertutil.dll was not found"

Heres MY fix: (MY fix as in it worked for me)
1. ctrl+alt+delete and open task manager
2. start a new task (File->new task(run)): appwiz.cpl
3. from Change or Remove programs, Uninstall IE7, restart once its uninstalled

Then - obtain large box, place PC in it. Cover liberally in petrol and set fire to it.

Purchase Mac.

QED.

Nice one.
