Added info;
 The next night Opera worked fine but when starting computer, got message that battery time and date were incorrect and battery probably needs to be replaced. Could this cause my problem? 
 
 Also when opening Opera, after trying to connect to google (my homepage) in the address bar it shows http://www.launchmodem.net/redirectBS.htm
 
 I'm back to no browsers tonight yet AOL still connects
