    Cannot set Opera 11 as default browser

    In my computer I have Opera 11 web browser and It has started giving me problems. I am not able to set Opera as default browser in my computer. I have selected "Check if Opera is default browser on startup" in opera but then also whenever I click on any link while chatting with friends at that time it opens with the Mozilla Firefox. I have windows XP operating system.

    How to solve this problem?

    Well I would like to tell you that you should set opera as default browser from set program access and defaults feature. First open set program access and defaults window and then select opera as default browser and then see whether it makes any difference or not?

    Re: Cannot set Opera 11 as default browser

    I will suggest you to download “SetBrowser 1.4” utility from internet and then install in your computer. This utility will allow you to choose default browser which you want. Many times browser does not recognize default browser setting in our system due to multiple browser installed in computer and we can fix this problem by installing SetBrowser utiliy.

    I hope this will be helpful for you.
