Opera not displaying certain websites and will occasionally freeze while loading a page.

I haven't made any changes that I am aware of to the standard Opera download, it worked okay for a day or two and now seems to consistently have problems. I am considering dumping it over this, but wanted to see if there was a known fix first.

What version of opera are you using? Does it happen on any pages in particular (e.g. can it be reproduced on specific pages or does it just happen randomly?).

Does it still happen if you disable hardware acceleration and restart opera? (Opera > Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Check box for "Use hardware acceleration when available (requires Opera restart)". Could also try disabling any addons (if you have any installed) to see if that helps.

Are you by any chance still using opera 12.x?

I can reproduce an issue loading piratebay using opera 12.16, it gives an ssl error (probably because opera 12.x is pretty outdated now and has issues with some newer ssl certs): http://i.imgur.com/af8sJKD.png but it works fine for me in the current version of opera

I feel stupid. I had two install files for opera and installed the outdated one. It was an issue with 12.x . Everything is okay with the current gen.
