Opera 9.5.1 refuses to open - jchuzi

I found the reason for this. I trashed Opera preferences before updating and Opera worked fine after that.

Opera 9.5.1 refuses to open - ericg51

I just can't understand comments like this one. I have had absolutely no trouble with Opera 9.5. I would be curious if the user has any haxies installed, such as APE. These often cause installation problems.

Opera 9.5.1 refuses to open - Rufus J

Uhhh he posted that he'd solved his problem. But, to inform you, this problem of software refusing to open is not all that uncommon in OS X. The solution he found is one that works with some regularity. Very frequently, however, the problem lies in some corrupt file that can be all but untraceable. A fact of life in OS X and it isn't because the user did something he shouldn't have or that there's a bug in some or any software, etc. Just something that happens. If you run OS X long enough there's a good chance it will happen to you, too. Here's a hint for when it does. If trashing all the relevant prefs and plists doesn't work, set up a new user account and try the software as that user. Chances are very very good it will work which will mean that it's a file in your user directory and you've only got to rebuild your user account intead of reinstall from scratch. Peace.
