In summary, Vivek installed Opera 8 and noticed that whenever he closes the main window, an explosion sound is heard and the confirmation window disappears quickly. He tried reinstalling the program but the issue persisted. He asked for suggestions on how to fix this and AIHi Tenali suggested trying previous versions of Opera or using a different browser like Firefox. Vivek later mentioned that he was able to fix the issue by repairing the program.

HI everyone

I installed Opera 8 a while back. Each time I close the main window, an explosion is heard and the confirmation window (to save the session) appears only for a second and disappears with the explosive sound. I reinstalled the program yet I am facing the same difficulty. If you have any idea about this, please let me know.

Cheers
Vivek

Hmm i never came across this problem. I tried to google for this problem, unfortunately i couldn't find any such problem being stated on net.

I will suggest u to try previous versions of opera (opera 7 maybe) and see if this problem sustains, if yes then the problem is most likely to be some component of windows that opera could be using. Ofcourse this is all speculations and u could save urself a lot of trouble by trying some other browser like firefox or netscape.

Hi Tenali

I am a regular user of Firefox but I was experimenting with Opera yesterday. Thanks for your help. I've already repaired it.

Cheers
