From: Pd on 18 Sep 2009 09:35 I just downloaded Opera 10.1 and tried to run it. As well as the permanent dock icon I had for it, at least two other temporary dock icons appeared to be spawning and vanishing at a high rate. Force quit took a long time and many attempts to work to stop the new flickering icons, and Opera still appears in the Force Quit dialog, shows as running in the dock, but doesn't show up in the Activity Monitor. Peculiar behaviour. -- Pd

I had some oddness with Opera 10 beta, until I cleaned up the prefs folders a bit. It's now ok though. On one of my machines the beta created it's own Opera 10 Preferences folder, which was empty, and I had to move stuff in and out of it.

However the release version of Opera 10 upgrades the Opera 9 settings and uses "Preferences/Opera Preferences" and does not look at the beta settings which are n that extra folder (As I use it as a news reader for certain servers it gave me a lot of unread news) -- Mark

That fixed it, cheers. Before your suggestion, things just got worse and worse. Eventually no other applications would launch, with error -10810. -- Pd |
