Opera Keeps Crashing- help!

vitamin_joe

This first started happening when I clicked on a link to an article in the New York Times from the digitalspy forum. There was a pop-up ad on the site- I x'd it, and almost immediately Opera crashed. It was a seven page article- and Opera crashed about 6 more times by the time I'd finished it.

Now I have the same problem at digitalspy. It crashes Opera if I add a reply to a thread, or even if I am just browsing. It only happens at ds- otherwise, Opera is perfectly stable. Now I'm using google chrome just to look at digitalspy, and Opera for everything else.

Does anyone know what this might be? I've done a full scan with Comodo- I've also run crapcleaner and superantispyware, but the problem persists. Also I'm using the Opera adblocker, though the problem predates this.

Thanks free, I was hoping you'd show up!

It's an article about Mark Zuckerberg, from about the time that The Social Network came out-

I accessed it from here- http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=45747751&postcount=77

Joe. I have clicked on both links (and full article too ) and no issues here/ I wonder if we can compare like and like. What add-ons do u have installed? I have the bare minimum : NoAds and AdSweep/ do u have any Widgets installed? Like I say Joe, no problems here /

Cheers for checking this out. I'm using the same add-ons as you, nothing else. I don't think I have any widgets installed- I don't know what one is!

The DS messageboard was crashing Opera for a few days, then it was ok for a few days, then it was crashing again for a few days, and today it's ok again. I guess it's just one of those inexplicable anomalies that turn up from time to time- fingers crossed it won't come back again!
