- TROUBLESHOOTING DIALOG
-
- The Opera Web browser has been created with a number of customization
- features in mind from the offset. With this in mind, the "Problem
- Solving" dialog box was created to better aid you if your copy of Opera
- crashes. This document contains descriptions of the configurations that
- can be made on this dialog.
-
-
- "Do not load documents on startup"
-
- If this box is ticked when you press the "OK"-button, Opera will open up
- without fetching any documents that might have been saved when you last
- exited Opera properly. Web documents that contain bad code, malicious
- code or code in a language that Opera does not understand may some times
- crash the browser, and ticking this box will make sure the browser opens
- correctly.
-
- "Minimize number of simultaneous connections"
-
- The number of connections that Opera can possibly have through the
- connection software is controlled in the "Connections" part of the
- "File/Preferences" dialog, and normally this number can be set quite
- high, but on some systems, Opera will not be able to exchange
- information with the Internet at the number of connections that can be
- made logically, which may result in a crash. Ticking this box will set
- the number of connections to a maximum of four (4), preventing this kind
- of overload.
-
- "Minimize network buffer size"
-
- Checking this box will set the size of the network buffer very low,
- which may be very convenient as having a large network buffer may render
- your system very unstable in some cases. The size of the network buffer
- will be set to 1 kB for the duration of your Opera session. If you find
- that this is beneficial to your system, you may permanently set the size
- of the network buffer low in "File/Preferences", "Connections".
-
- "Synchronous DNS"
-
- Normally, Opera uses DNS asynchronously in order to be able to retrieve
- information from the Internet in multiple windows at the same time, but
- enabling synchronous DNS may be a good idea if you are experiencing
- problems with your network's "Winsock" implementation, or if you are
- connecting to a server that does not permit asynchronous data transmit.
- This setting is toggled in the "File/Preferences", "Connections" menu.
