118861 2003-02-06 11:21:00 Hello all,
I recently installed Opera 7.01 (after reading posts here) but have encountered a problem.
Prior to instal I had been able to open a folder, any folder, and then click on favourites and then choose any link and surf straight to that page. I remember when I installed Opera that it asked if it could be my default browser, I thought why not, I have been using Opera for over a year now anyway and since then I can no longer surf the net via a folder. Even if I type the address or another address the "page cannot be displayed" comes up. I figured I would uninstal Opera and all would be ok, but no same thing.
I am not sure if the problem is related to Opera or not but I would like some help if anyone knows.
I have looked at the folder options via control panel and reset defaults.
I can click on IE and surf no problem, only when I open a folder is there a problem with surfing.

XP pro, IE6 (default browser) and now (reinstalled) Opera 7.01.

I've seen it happen in Zone Alarm when you block Explorer.exe.

I remember now (doh) that I was playing with ZA settings when I was trying to determine what was accessing the net yesterday.
(and here i was blaming Opera, shame on me)

Thanks Kame, problem solved.
