Groupy broke Opera and installed Fences which I don't need

What's up with that?

Tuesday, September 18, 2018 by Uvah | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Like the title says. I thought I'd give Groupy a try. Worked fine after I figured out how to use it. But, Opera refused to open and I tried several times. I thought it got borked some how so I uninstalled it then installed it again. Didn't work. The only change I made was installing Groupy. After uninstalling it Opera now works but the tabs are gone. Look up top. No tabs. How to fix this.

Didn't work. Opera got so messed up I can't use. When I click on it I get a black image for a few seconds before it opens. It still has no tabs, won't open to the speed dial page I have it set to and always goes back to where I started from. Funny thing is I used the same installer for Opera to re install it. Now I have to click the side bar to get to the speed dial and instead of a plain white background with my links on it its now a riot of colors with more suggestions added on that its getting ridiculous. I never had any of these problems before installing Groupy plus the fact that I didn't see a way to opt out of installing Fences which it should not have done. No Groupy for me thank you.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Sad to see Groupy don't work for you because of Opera. Strange thing is Opera run great on my system too. What I do, it might help, might not. I turn off auto group on opera for my system.

Note: On this Sshot I have Opera on Windowblinds but I have problem "open in new tab". Once I exclude Opera.exe in my Windowblinds exclude list. Everything work normally.

Basj,
