Windows XP Startup Problems.

nealallen

Hi all.

I hope there is someone here that can advise me. This morning I turned on my laptop only to find it took about 15 or more Min's to start. I ran Ad-Aware and Virgins own PC tool, however, nothing was found. I did a system restore and things are much better but now I can't click a link in an email as I get this message. Error initializing Opera: Module 8. If I click the same link gain, I then get this. Another user is running this copy of Opera. You should install Opera with individual profiles to allow multiple users to run the same copy independently. Now you are talking to an idiot when it comes to these hind of things, so can I have any instruction in idiot mode please lol

Many thanks in advance.

do you have more than one user on the same comp??
cos you can have a virus or bug on one users account but not on another's.

i would re-install opera for a start.

Reinstall opera, go through the malware removal sticky on this board and delete the link from your signature (forum rules).

You could try reinstalling Opera to see if that fixes it.

Are you set up for muliple users?

Lastly - links are not allowed within the signature block

Yes there is another user for our computer, we removed Opera because it caused us so many problems in the 1st place. Would I just download it again fron Google and reinstall it? And do we need to have it as our Brouser in future?

You can use whichever browser you want - Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera the choice is yours.

Unload Opera from add/ remove va the control panel and reinstall if you want from here - http://www.opera.com/

If you've uninstalled Opera and you're getting Opera related error messages I'd try running ccleaner to clear out the junk from your registry etc.

Well removed Opers from add/ remove and downloaded it again and now get thi message:

I'm using opera and can access the site.
Did you run ccleaner like superscaper suggested?
