People often come to the computer emergency room with a complaint that Opera does not open the page. Usually the situation is as follows: after the computer reboots, the browser starts working, but if you try to visit some sites, it stops working right there. Re-loading Opera may or may not solve the problem, and reinstalling opera does not open sites anyway.
So, your situation is clear, now about what you can do with it.
- If Opera does not open the page, then call the task manager panel (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and find Opera.exe in the “Processes” tab. If it is there, it means that you are dealing with a widespread mistake of the Opera when the closed browser seems to continue to work. The process must be forcibly completed, and then open the program again.
- If the previous tip didn’t help, or if Opera doesn’t open pages with specific addresses, while others open normally, try updating your antivirus and doing as much as possible a full scan of your computer. Often, the actions of the Opera are interfered with by the Spy.BZub.NCY Trojan.
- Under the same conditions (sites open through one), you can try another way: in the Opera settings dialog (Tools - General settings), find the "Content" item in the "Advanced" tab and view it. Perhaps Opera does not open pages that are in the list of blocked. You can also uncheck the boxes next to “Enable plugins” and “Enable JavaScript”, sometimes it helps. True, disabling these settings will make it impossible to view pictures and animations, so such actions can be considered an extreme measure. However, the clear effect of turning scripts on and off on page display will be a sign that malicious software is operating on the computer and needs to be cleaned.
- If all the previous manipulations have not had an effect, it remains to assume an error in temporary files. They are located outside the program folder, which is why Opera does not open pages even after reinstalling. To eliminate this trouble you will have to completely delete the browser, so if you have unsaved data, take care of their fate before work.
After that, you can proceed to the complete removal. The RevoUninstaller utility will help to cope with the task. Now reinstall the program. Check it works? Must.
There is a more laborious way to solve the same problem. It is suitable for those who like to get to the bottom of everything and find the origins of the situation.
Windows, while applications are running, constantly stores various intermediate results in memory in special temporary files. They can be in the “Application Data”, “TEMP”, “AppData” or “Prefetch” folders, and if there is a problem opening any application or web page, the first suspicion falls on them. You can clear the storages using one of the powerful utilities: Auslogic Boostspeed or TuneUp.
An alternative way is to clean without special software. First of all, you need to remove the predefined attribute “hidden” from all the necessary folders.
For Windows 7: “start” - “search” - insert the words “folder options”, the desired item will be found.
For Windows XP: “Control Panel” - “Folder Options” tab
Next, open the “View” tab and uncheck the option “hide protected system files”, but on the item “show hidden folders, files, disks” on the contrary, set it. Now all the temporary files of the opera are visible and you can delete, cut, move or copy them, in short, take any action with respect to them.
In Windows 7, 2 folders are deleted:
- The path is drive C - p. "Users" - p. "Username" - p. "AppData" - p. "Roaming" - p. "Opera"
- The path is drive C - p. "Users" - p. "Username" - p. "AppData" - p. "Local" - p. "Opera"
In Windows XP, it is only one: drive C - p. "Documents and Settings" - p. "Username" - p. "Application Data" - p. "Opera"
The real address, of course, does not contain the words "username", instead of them you must put the name of the account in which you work. If no profiles were created specifically, most likely it will be “admin” or “administrator”.
