Problems with Opera 9.50B build 9656

sources.
I have included examples below -- this is not a complete list but is
indicative
of the problems I am having with Opera 9.5B of any build.
1. www.foxnews.com - just shows an orange screen and hangs there.
2. www.cnn.com - shows a screen that says "undefined"
3. www.youtube.com - will start to play but will lose audio after about 5
- 15
seconds and then about 5 seconds later the video will freeze. The
download
bar continues until finished. Cannot restart player without restarting
Opera.
Another problem is when I read mail using Opera the program will hang and
be
unresponsive for 10 - 15 seconds at random times and then continue. The
top
bar on the page will show a white block for the Opera Logo and it will
include
the words "program not responding".
Windows XP SP2
Intel 3.2 Ghz processor
2 gigabytes of memory
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix the videos with Opera or
will I
Just have to use IE or FireFox or Opera 9.24?
It is my personal opinion that 9.5 is far from being ready for general
release and
I do not see many if any improvements over 9.24. In Opera 9.24 all of the
Videos
play correctly and I have no problems with mail.
Thank you
Jeff Lewis

Perhaps someone from Opera will tell you to file a bug
report, or that they are already working on it. Perhaps
someone will post a user Javascript that fixes the
problem. In the mean time, use 9.24 for those sites.

It isn't ready for release. That's why it is still in beta.
We are supposed to run into problems, and report them to
Opera.
