    While I can't speak for your program as I don't use it, and don't want to use it.
    Download the Sysinterlnals suite (legally from Microsoft) and use Process explorer to track all processes.

    I know that Opera 8.5 was buggy on my old XP laptop.

    It may be a currupted installation, bad programming - due the basics of troubleshooting.
