New to Opera

After reading here how Opera was better than EI I downloaded Opera 8.51. The problem is tonight I was goofing with the settings and ended up with the sreenshots below. Until I goofed it up I was really enjoying Opera, now I just to figure out how to fix it. So, any guesses how did I do it and how do I undo it? Thanks.

Okay now it's normal, what happened?

Looks like the settings are a bit messed up :P

Have you tried reinstalling Opera?

Also you can try clicking on "Tools"->"Preferences"->"Advanced"->"Content" and
configure it the same way as follows:



You can also open your Opera config file (opera6.ini) located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile

And compare [User Prefs] section to this one:
