THE START-UP DIALOG

When you start Opera, a welcome dialog appears with two essential
choices on how you want to use Opera:

  a) To have all Opera windows inside a single Opera application
     (Multiple Document Interface)

  b) To have a separate application window for each Opera window
     (Single Document Interface)

Click on the image that corresponds to your preference. This setting
can not be changed while running Opera.

In addition, you can choose what windows to show when starting Opera:

  a) Continue browsing where you exited Opera last time
  b) Show a particular set of windows you have saved earlier
  c) Show your favorite start page
  d) Start without any windows

If you want Opera to start in the same way every time, you can choose
not to show this dialog on normal start-up.

If Opera exits involuntarily because of a problem, the start-up
dialog will always appear the next time you start Opera, to help you
deal with the problem. If the problem persists, try starting with no
windows.

Sometimes, the problem can be caused by communication with the
network. If you are technically familiar with network communication,
you may change some of the network preferences to help you get back
to normal browsing again.
