    I gotta stop too.

    A ton of betas one right after another and the beat goes on. Think I'll wait until Final.

    Thanks, just installed it and cold start with Chrome seems faster and snappier overall, it is only an impression.

    Also, according to a thread at the SBIE forum, problems with the Opera browser were fixed in this version.

    Re: Sandb0xie 4.05 beta out now

    I'm still using Sandboxie 3.76, 32-bit. When I first heard about v4 I heard that it broke/conflicted with several things, and I just didn't want to go through that nightmare... so I stuck with what I knew worked.

    But some time has passed now. It v4 more usable/stable now? Can I expect it to conflict with anything? And what would the advantages be over 3.76?

    Re: Sandb0xie 4.05 beta out now

    I tried sandboxing Explorer yesterday and it couldn't due to an error. I went to Sandboxie's forum to check if others had the same issue, and apparently it's an old issue, but seems to be related with avast!. I don't use it, though.

    I'm also unable to start other apps because of the same error. Bummer.

    I never had major issues with Sandboxie before, and I didn't use it much either to be honest, but v4 is more like a regression than upgrade. o_O I hope this new beta solves many of the issues users are having with v4.

    Sandboxie 4.04 has been running great on Windows 8 since I installed it. The only issue I have found so far is that it takes quiet some time to delete the sandbox for Internet Explorer.

    Re: Sandb0xie 4.05 beta out now

    LD, I am not experiencing anything that I would call an issue in my XP or W7. Neither in a W8 laptop that I have at my home at this time (not mine). To this point in time, V4 is not as stable as V3 ever was but I don't doubt that in the near future, this version not only will be as stable as SBIE has ever been but safer. The changes done in SBIE are to make it more compatible with newer versions of Windows and to make SBIE stronger. In case you haven't read this link, read the first post.

    http://www.sandboxie.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=14454

    In my XP, I have a minor hiccup that no one else has reported and it doesn't bother me any, I am pretty sure that you wont have any problem if you decided to move on to V4. You are not using many other security programs, you wont have any conflicts.

    Same here. Deleting the IE sandbox has always taken longer than the time other sandboxes take to delete. It has been like that forever, I remember reading about that but I don't remember the reason or explanation.

    In my computers, sometimes the IE sandbox might take a few seconds longer to delete and other times, it deletes fast/right away as other sandboxes. In my opinion, if your IE sandbox is always taking, say 15 seconds to delete, then your scanner is probably messing things up a little.

    Re: Sandb0xie 4.05 beta out now

    What error did you get when trying to run Windows Explorer, other apps sandboxed? Some people using earlier V4 betas reported problems running WE sandboxed but they got fixed a long time ago. I never experienced any issue running WE sandboxed other than maybe being a little slow moving around Windows but like I said, that was fived a few months ago. Now, running Explorer sandboxed is as good as ever.

    Install the beta that this thread is about to see if your issue is gone. I don't use Opera but according to the thread at the bottom of this post, some "strange" Opera browser issues got fixed with 4.05.01. I cant confirm it but you can try it and see.

    I saw your post at the SBIE forum. Just saying that you wonder why nobody else is reporting a similar issue as you doesn't help. You have to give more information.

    I tried upgrading to v4 (while retaining current settings), but all hell broke loose on my XP SP3 computer. Freezes, slowdowns, etc. I reverted back to 3.76 and all is well again.

    I'll try it again when I have more time to troubleshoot.

    Until sandboxie gets pass the v4 redesign bugs I have switched to exe radar pro. All sandboxie versions 4 have issues on my computer. It will probably work in a few months. I remember the old days when exe radar pro was so buggy and sandboxie 3.x worked well. Funny how things change *puppy*

    Wallpapers, you can keep using V3.76. In my opinion, the end of the line for V3 will be marked when it gets broken by a Windows update. Until then, I see no reason not to use it just because V4 is in the making. I think this is particularly so for people using XP. This is my opinion regarding using V4 or not using SBIE at all.

    Tried 4.02 and started getting errors (no crashes) as soon as I opened Chrome, so moved to 4.04 and the same error. Chrome is at latest release. Getting DLL Initialization failure everytime I open Chrome sandboxed, however do not get it when I open Chrome outside SBIE. FF and IE opens just fine sandboxed in 4.02 and 4.04. Chrome is my preferred browser, so had to go back to V3.76.

    That isn't a universal experience. I've got the latest 4.04 on 4 XP SP3 boxes with absolutely no problem at all.

    Dantz, if your problem was during installation, Sandboxie recommends to disable the antivirus before the new SBIE driver is loaded when Sandboxie is being installed. If you didnt do, then thats probably that's why you had problems. Like Pete, other than a insignificant hiccup in my XP, I don't have any problems using the latest beta in any of my computers (XP/W7). Also, for the last 10 days or so, I have in my possession a friends W8 computer (free version on this one) and Sandboxie works just fine in it.

    My problems with 4.04 guiproxy errors and another issue with Outlook seem to have been fixed in the latest 4.05.01 beta, based on a couple of days of usage. Although, it may have been due to the fact that I've uninstalled SBIE completely and recreated my settings from scratch for the latest beta.
    Except for a small issue with W7 taskbar icons (sandboxed program opens to the far right instead of in-place of the clicked icon/shortcut in the taskbar), it's a smooth experience.

    Beta Version 4.05.02 was released early today. The first taste of it in my W7 32 bits laptop feels just fine.
