well i still want to know how you been doing with the problem? so keep us posted.

Well I decided to unistall the Omega drivers(6.2) and go back to an earlier version.

After I uninstalled them and reboot, the system auto reinstalled the ATI drivers and I think they were also 6.2, file version 8.162.0.0.

That seemed to fix it. But after some time...the problem came back again.

I may go back even further to the ATI 5.8 catalyst.

I think it was working right then...

still only occur in Opera?

scotty71 · Sep 15, 2007, 04:00 PM

Yes.

Opera and Firefox can both be open and displaying the same page and contents and the images In Opera are the only ones affected.

I am either gonna reinstall widows or live with the problem...since It doesn't occur everytime I visit a webage..or the same webpage .

even though you didn't sign in and start the topic in the Google Groups directly, however, the system are just working together, and the message also post in the Google Groups site, so no worry this is not a weird thing.
however, if you tell me that that is not your messages at all, then i'd say i'm very weird, lol, cause everything in that messages referring to yours, including the links to the images and the example images themself are exactly same with the ones you posted here. and well, i'll be damned. my assumption is just very wrong, lol.

anyways, so, how you handle this problem so far?

Thats the most genius piece of detective work ever LOL. Who says the nets anonymous. +1 rep

So did we ever get to the bottom of this problem?

well i don't know yet, i can't really say as of now that his Opera or its settings is the caused of this problem, however if i can get to the Opera profiles myself i might have a more idea on why the problem only occur in Opera.

scotty71, as i understand from reading your post #15, you reinstalled Opera but you still using some of the old settings,
so have you ever tried completetly removing Opera and reinstall it and also start it with a clean profile,
or at least setting it up for multiple profiles use, and then test the problem with another and clean profile?

scotty71 · Sep 16, 2007, 05:03 PM

Yes. I completely uninstalled Opera and deleted the Opera folder. I also deleted an Opera folder in the appdata folder. I then installed Opera 9.23 to my E: and then changed all the corresponding default paths to the Opera folder on E:

The only things I transfered over to the new installation were the bookmarks, wand data, skins, and menu and toolbar setups.

However, as of now, I can't reproduce the problem.

you may want to try this next...
backup the existing profile and settings and then remove it, then launch the Opera so that it can create a new and clean profile files again, include using its default skin.
then after that go ahead and try reinstalling the video drivers that you removed it before. and test the problem again, and to see if the problem can be reproduced... then we will have a more and clearer picture on what may have been the caused for all the problem. good luck.

so how's it going, have you found out what's causing it?

scotty71 · Sep 26, 2007, 10:52 PM

It's going just fine..thank you. I don't know what caused it. May have been some kind of driver conflicting with Opera.

However, the problem I was experiencing has not shown itself again since I went back to the ATI display drivers from catalyst 6.2..at least I think they are from 6.2

Hopefully the earlier display drivers will not conflict with Opera

Thanks for your continued interest on how to fix the problem I was having.
