Each & every time I open Opera since Sat 21, the following message appears:
"You tried to access the address http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/,
which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL)
is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page."

The situation is made more ridiculous by my being able to read the Opera
Tutorials with Avant browser.

Can any one advise how to solve the problem, please?

Can you load other webpages in Opera? Do you use firewall or proxy
software that might interfere?

Some Feeds will load. Going to Help/Community gives: Moved Permanently
The document has moved here with the rest of the page blank. Help/Support
gives: Document Moved
http://www.opera.com/support/ , again the rest of the page blank. Clicking
on the hyperlink just gives the message: You tried to access the address

I have Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro & Opera.exe is an allowed app. I have
changed no settings in my security apps which would restrict Opera's access
to the net. OS is XP Home SP2 w/all updates. No proxies.

Have uninstalled & reinstalled Opera Version 8.51
Build 7712
Platform Win32
System Windows XP
Java Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.5
XHTML+Voice IBM Multimodal Runtime Environment, Version: 4.1.3, Build:
20050324.01.1

Should I perhaps clean Registry after uninstalling Opera?

Thx for your queries.

With automatic redirection turned off, I get ...
Moved Permanently
The document has moved here.

with here being a link to http://my.opera.com/

Clicking on that link, I get ...
Found

The document has moved here.
Apache Server at my.opera.com Port 80

with here being a link to http://my.opera.com/community/
which works fine.

http://www.opera.com/support/ is working fine here.

Check Agnitum, to make sure it doesn't think opera has changed by for example,
upgrading from 8.50 to 8.51. I'm thinking you may have missed a prompt from
outpost, saying the application has changed, allow/disallow. I haven't used
outpost since the free version (I switched to linux), so I'm not sure where
in the settings to check.

Checked Agnitum but the only Opera version is 8.51. Uninstalled Opera
again/ran CCleaner then red/led & installed Opera but same message keeps
appearing. Maybe I'll just need to wait for v 9.0.

Thx for suggestion.
