If I am IN Opera, and I click on a link to a PDF file OR open an PDF  
attachment, And Opera closes without a any warning or error message, that  
is strong evidense it's got something to do with Opera.



In my case I have Adobe installed and I have CutePDF Adobe is the reader  
in Opera. There is no mistaking the two utils.

I'm using Vista Home edition 64bit, on an AMD CPU. I can't begin to list  
installed programs.  All I can say (that might be helpful) is that it was  
working prior to 10x.

Just how helpful are those crash reports? I mean I fear I'm gonna crash  
their server with all of my reports (ok a bit of an exaggeration).
