Just use the regitry import scripts I published some two years ago:

(it points to the storage card. If you’ve installed OM to your built-in storage, search/replace the paths in the REG file accordingly.)

Yeah, the more I am using this program and talking with others, the more I am finding how buggy it is. One real problem I have noticed is that the set Opera as default browser function does not work properly. Even if this option is checked, opening a link or shortcut will still use PIE>

Apart from the memory issues, [not experiencing them on the Axim]It works a treat and I find it faster than opera 8.5. Also I’ve installed it to storage card,not recommended, and am suffering no ill affects. The default cache size is huge, 4000 Kb, and it helps to have this on the card to save ROM. There is a workaround at WMExperts

That lets you move the cache to storage card. Also let’s us know that flash and activeX are disabled in the Beta at the moment!
