That doesn't work for me TeeJay. Tried to set it up un-sandboxed and the "Accept Cookies" option checked in the Gmail log in page "Site Preferences", still set away the endless loop. Tried setting that again when logged in, but no go, it won't work for me.
No big deal of course because as hazel says above, all cookies are gone with the sandbox anyway.
It didn't work for me at first either. Then I restarted Opera, and the change took effect. I'm not sure why restarting is necessary with that type of change, but apparently it is.

I think I've found the reason for it, although I'll only be convinced when it carries on working over the next week or so.
It appears to be the cookie settings within Opera. I always have "only accept cookies from the site I visit" checked, and it appears there must be something on the Gmail page which doesn't like that.
If I change the setting to "accept cookies", it logs in straight away. Does that work for anyone else?
That worked Dennis, thanks! The nice thing is you can edit Google's "site preferences" so the change only applies to google.com, while every other site still uses the "only accept cookies from the site I visit" option.

Thanks abu.
That was a long time between updates.

I regularly have issues with Gmail and Opera, and none whatsoever with Gmail and Firefox.
If I log in to Gmail using the wand in Opera, the login box clears and I'm back to square one. Log in again and the same thing happens in an endless circle.
Now I log in with the wand, the box clears as before, but if I refresh the page, I'm logged in. Works every time, and I'm totally bamboozled by it, but past caring as I can at least log in.
Thanks for the two heads up about the latest version, I'll hang fire I think.
Hmm interesting. I've actually never had any problems at all with Opera until now. In fact, I'm really impressed by this version and all sites work great on it, except Gmail. I've opened a thread on the Opera support forums, so hopefully a solution will arise soon.

I'm having terrible results so far. About half the sites I try to visit won't load. For example, when trying to load Gmail, it gets stuck in an endless cycle of "sending request to" and "completed request to", then "send" and then "completed", and that goes on and on indefinitely. On other sites it gets stuck on something about DNS server and cookies (even though cookies are enabled).
When I can only visit about half the sites I try to, that's a pretty poor product put out by Opera.

Yup I completely stole your good topic title as the sub-title for the other topic.
Nothing you can do about it either huh. 
I had considered suing you, but I'll let you get away with it just this once.
-
Good point I've edited the other topic title name to reflect what it's about.
You have? If memory serves, it's exactly the way I worded it.

Ah thanks, I didn't see that thread. This can be deleted.

For the first time with CCleaner, the installer in 2.29 requested permission from my firewall to connect to the internet. This happened after the "checking system info" (or similar) stage of installation. I've never had CCleaner "phone home" before so this is a little concerning. Does anyone have any insight on why this is?
-
Make sure run the UNINSTALLER first, can be found athttp://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashpl...lash_player.exe then REBOOT
Install the latest and test your installation HERE
I got an auto-update message when booting my computer, so I just hit OK and let it do it's thing.

- Start CCleaner and you'll now see SRWare Iron listed.
I did all that, and it worked great with SRWare Iron 3.5 (or whatever the previous version was), but now with version 4.0, it's not working. It does not appear under the applications tab.

Very cool! I can't wait to try it.

When I was confronted with that slowdown I renamed winapp2.ini on my system which allowed CCleaner to clean at the expected normal fast speed. With winapp2.ini enabled it was taking over 60 seconds to clean using the normal delete mode (not secure deletion). Of course I've only noticed this issue with versions of CCleaner that are newer than 2.21.940.
It doesn't cause any significant slowdown on mine, but apparently it does on some (like yours). However, the file is not included with CCleaner and is only available by digging through the Piriform forums. Because of that, I don't see the harm in making it available to users to choose to take the time to let those additional items be cleaned.
-
I removed the download link for winapp2.ini due to the size of the file, it was affecting CCleaner's performance.
That has not been true in my experience at all. Even on my very old laptop (K6-2 333 MHz, 160MB RAM, Windows 2000), CCleaner performs just fine...almost as fast as on my new laptop. Because of that, I don't see any need to remove the download link for that file. Fortunately, I kept the latest version of the file and am now using it with CCleaner 2.28.
Since even on the slowest of slow computers CCleaner's performance is speedy, is there any chance of this file being brought back?

Thanks abu!

if ccleaner needed to be funded by adds would you block it?
If Piriform really wanted me to view their ads, I might consider it. This would be the ONLY site though. I use both the MVPS and hpHosts Windows hosts files, and Fanboy's AdBlock list for Opera, and see almost no ads at all anywhere on the net...period. There's ads everywhere you turn in the world...on TV, the radio, on my digital cable on-screen guide, on billboards on the freeway, even on my church's bulletin. If I can do something to block ads on the internet, I'm going to do it.

Fanboy's AdBlock List updated 01-14-10.

Both MVPS and hpHosts updated today, 01-12-10.

SpywareGuard definitely should be used and is still of use. It is like Spybot's TeaTimer.
A very effective program it is
Even if the only browser I use is Opera? It appears that SG's primary method of protection is preventing browser hi-jacks, but has Opera ever actually been hi-jacked? It seems as if SG is only really useful if you use Internet Explorer.

First of all, don't use Chrome or Chromium. SRWare Iron is better in every respect. It has none of the privacy concerns and uses the latest version of WebKit.
Read this thread for instructions on how to clean Iron.

I could be wrong
But there is no system restore on any versions of Windows before XP...
There definitely isn't, at least not built-in. I was hoping there was some third-party software that would make it possible on 2000, but it looks like I'm outa luck.
-
Thanks, but I had found similar procedures from a Google search. That's different than a restore point, as that utility simply backs up files and therefore takes up a LOT of space. I'm looking for something small, fast, and simple like XP/Vista/7 system restore points, which can be created quickly and easily.
-
I would like to make a system restore point on my Windows 2000 computer, and am wondering if there is any third-party software capable of doing that. I read through this thread by Rorschach, but the software recommended there only works on XP. If anyone can recommend something, that'd be great!
Nothing you can do about it either huh. 
Opera 10.50 released!
in Software

Yes, I've stuck with 10.50 because changing the cookie setting has fixed my Gmail issue (which was my only problem).
Good luck getting it straightened out. 10.50 seems like the best version of Opera yet (I love the minimalist interface).
