Opera stops links working

[Guest oldg1t]

I downloaded & installed Opera 8.6 (one of the Plus membership 'benifits'). I have to admit I was dissapointed especially after trying Opera mini (which I thought pretty slick) and I expected Opera to be the same but with more functionalty. It wasn't of course. So I deinstalled it. Now whenever I try to open a link from an email or website I get the message "The file OperaLaunch cannot be opened either it isnt signed etc etc or one of its components cannot be found"

I now have to copy and paste links into Internet explorer to make them work. I have tried reinstalling Opera but it makes no difference. I suspect there is still a registry setting that thinks opera is the default browser even after deinstalling.

Any ides ?

Thanks
