Please help AP4 and Opera won't start at all anymore

[mactablet]

Opera was working like a dream and then I changed a setting in real vga and installed tomtom. That was all I did i think and now when i try to start opera the splash screen fires up the status bar starts and then POP, disappears. Nothing. I've been searching forums and there's some reference to not enough memory but i uninstalled tomtom and other things and still can't get it to work.

I also installed it again from a cab i got here, but nothing.

Any help appreciated

I'm sorry to say, but it looks like your best option is a hard reset. It will save more trouble in the end, if you haven't done a backup then now is a good time to use one. Do a hard reset then reinstall all your contacts, appointments, and such, then your programs. Then use a backup program like sprite, and backup. sprite has a 10 day trial and once it ends you can still restore from the first backup :). unless someone knows a good free backup software program. think HTC do one???

hi, thanks. I was trying to avoid a hard reset but thought that might be the only option :( dammit.

Like I said, use the opportunity to make a backup then you always have a base to start from. I use sprite, you can even use it when swapping roms. save all that messing about getting things back how you want them.

good luck

Thanks for the advice. I did a hard reset and then slowly put back on the apps and things. Then I found out the cause of the problem. It was the Thinkoutside drivers. I have a Thinkoutside bluetooth mouse and a keyboard and as soon as I installed the driver for the mouse Opera died. I uninstalled it and Opera started again. I am now using Bluemouse and it's fine.

Sprite is awesome to BTW so thaks for the tip. I downloaded the trial and now I'm going to buy it.

Im pleased you have it sorted now, its a good chance for a clean out and a spring clean. At least now you have a bsae to go back to if anything else goes wrong, Sprite has been a favourite of mine since I first started years ago. I did have problems getting the backup file to self boot, however that seems to be ok now. Just tap on the backup file on your storage card and off it goes.

All the best
