    With the latest beta I was getting Bad_Pool_Header 0x19 bluescreens when adding packages to WIM files with DISM.

    It would be extremely helpful if you could share a crashdump.

    Then I wish OA would just use one tray icon instead of two. Maybe give users the option of the HIPS icon or the firewall icon? I prefer the firewall icon myself. I think the settings/configuration can be accessed through either icon, no?

    It was sent via the program after I rebooted.

    I guess you're talking about OA Crash dump reporting tool.

    If so - please tell me the submission ID you were given after submitting the dump.

    Best regards,
    Andrey.

    Well... as for me I'd rather move the firewall status window (and the related icon) to another executable.

    Firewall status windows serves two porpuses:
    1. Displays icon in taskbar showing inbound/outbound traffic;
    2. Shows active connections and programs using them;

    As an alternative to creating separate program you could:
    1. Merge inbound/outbound traffic icon with current 'main' Online Armor icon ( some kind of bars would be shown on top of this icon);
    2. Create a link in Online Armor Status page opening firewall status window ( maybe a brief info of 3 most active process/connections). Status page has a lot of free space after all.

    Just my 0.02 €

    I hope they do something different. I'm sure there are higher priorities in the beta list of things to do, but they need to do something. This problem has been around a while.

    I had a similar issue in my case the icon was always placed the first even if I changed the order, not a big deal just annoying xD
    I guess that a solution would be make separated programs for the two icons.

    Don't use much these days other than SBIE and srp but I've always been a big fan of OA so I thought I'd try out the latest beta particularly as compatibility was supposed to have been enhanced.

    However I still get a real delay in opening a Firefox session sandboxed with SBIE. Excluding SBIE and Firefox from OA protection is the only way to resolve it. I've had this in previous OA builds too. No other browser or app running SBIE needs this type workaround.

    Is it only me and if not are there plans to address it?

    Thanks

    I haven't experienced that issue on either of two machines.
