| I downloaded the Opera browser for OS/2. It is the latest version for OS/2 but not their latest version (for other platforms, it is 6 or 7). I installed it. I tried it but it stops my eCS computer at the Opera logo and I am unable to do anything till it is rebooted. I have heard others have the same problem and implied it is a confict with ODIN. I have downloaded the latest ODIN from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/odinusers . I will try again. Any help or suggestions on it it?

| I have been told to rename the ODIN directory to see if it will help Opera to run. I am trying to use Opera since I can not get the Innotek runtime to install on my eCS computer (so I can install the javakit from Innotek which requires the innotek runtime to install). I might have to disable the audio so I can install the runtime.

| I tried installing the newer ODIN but I was told that OPERA uses an older ODIN and that is where the conflict is. There will be builds of ODIN at http://www.netlabs.org again. One can still get them at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/odinusers but they are/will be making avaiable at http://odin.netlabs.org (IIRC on the URL).

| I have things going on at work and at home. By posting to several groups, I was hoping more to see it therefore greater chance to find a solution. I am using the IBM Browser but it have not been able to enable JAVA. By installing Opera, I had hoped it had JAVA enabled. If I could enable JAVA with the IBM Browser, I would not need Opera. Your help is appreciated. Thank you.

| I took out any ODIN statements in the config.sys (there was only two found when I did a search using odin). I rebooted. It still froze my computer. I have an earlier version of Opera for OS/2 (build 24 - IIRC). I have it on a mini-cdr disc.

| I've tried Opera 2 or 3 times. I have always had some problems and I have given it up. Its hard to see why trying more if they even don't intend to update for OS/2 any more. Mozilla is much better and stable in my opinion and also updated. I should get rid of the other problem instead, that is to make java from Innotek start working on your system. |

| Registering Opea was a waste of money.

| I took out the ODIN statements in config.sys and rebooted. It still froze my computer. I had an earlier version of Opera for OS/2 and installed it. It works. I was not able to use the registration code with it (it would not take it). I did try your suggestion but it still froze the computer.

I have simply said "rename your Odin-drectory". Because you may have remmed out all from the config.sys but there could be leads in the OS2.ini. So without even rebooting "rename the dir" and try. Just my 2 €-cents...

| I renamed the odin directory to nido. I restarted the computer. I tried the newer OS/2 versioin of Opera. It did not freeze my computer. It showed the Opera 'square' briefly but did not start. My computer was fine/did not freeze.
