Sandboxie 2.60 issues

Only wanted to use it for 'shopping expeditions' on Firefox (no problems) and to visit Excite.mail (that only functions on IE with low security settings, so it can load 'tracking cookies').

Running IE in Sandboxie will result (after opening a few pages) in a first symptom of losing Bluetooth IntelliMouse (absolutely the only time this occurs) followed by a slowly freezing system, ending in a 'Hard Shutdown'.

 

Sandboxie 2.60 will not work with Outlook 2007 Beta 2. You can't send and receive.

Does anyone have trouble with Sandboxie working with Opera 9.01? I get [#]Opera[#] on top, but with Firefox 1.5.0.7, looking in Process Explorer under firefox.exe, I see:

firefox.exe
SandboxieRpcSs.exe
SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe

When launching Sandboxie with Opera, looking in Process Explorer under Opera.exe, I do not see the two Sandboxie COM files loaded. (SandboxieRpcSs.exe and SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe) I just see Opera.exe alone. Is this normal?

 

IMO the latest version of Sandboxie conflicts with certain software. The previous version run flawlessly in this machine.

I had to reinstall Win again as Sandboxie hooks into the kernel.

 

Few months back I installed sandboxie and I was never able to run Opera in it. It will always freeze just after start up until I will kill it by task manager.
I tried on two laptops wiyh XP Home and Pro with same results.

 

I believe it, however the author of this program claims that it does indeed work with Opera. Sandboxie will load Opera, you will get copied folders in the Sandbox, you will get the [#] brackets on top, but I don't believe it loads and runs Opera correctly. I get nothing but crashes and Process Explorer doesn't lie. Firefox and IE operate normally. I seriously think Tzuk has overlooked Sandboxie's compatibility with Opera. He may have got it to run ok with v8.54, but not v9.01.

 

I have no problem running Opera 9.x in Sandboxie on a Windows XP SP2 system. Only added Bookmarks are getting lost because Sandboxie does not seam to recognice this change or what ever.

 

May be some software conflicts. As a matter of fact when I installed Opera in a clean snapshot of XP Home without any other software installed, it worked. But In most of my RollBackRx snapshots it did not work and I failed to find the conflict. Tzuk suggested to gather some data but the procedure was so long that I did not get time to do it. I simply replaced it with GeSWall.

 

Tommy, do you get the two Sandboxie COM files (SandboxieRpcSs.exe and SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe) running in the background with Opera.exe?

I think I read that post over on his forum.

 

Ups, you are right. These two files are not running when i launch Opera in Sandboxie. It shows only 'opera.exe' , declares it as sandboxed, I get [#]Opera[#] on top, and the directories and files are copied to the Sandbox TopLevel folder.

 

Good, this confirms my analysis. Which means that yes, Opera "works" on the surface, but not correctly like the other two browsers. (IE and Firefox) This is the point that I have been trying to convey to Tzuk.

 

I confirmed you posting in the Sandboxie Forum, perhaps he will pay attention to this problem now, but still no reaction over there.

 

Thank you Tommy.

 

Sandboxie version 2.62 Released

What's new:
- Closed the small security hole, recently identified in the Tech Suppor Alert newsletter.
- Delete Sandbox operation now renames sandboxed files and folders that are too long, making it possible to delete them.
- Sandboxie Control now shows processes from all users in the same logon session, and fixed SandboxieRpcss/DcomLaunch to handle this scenario better.
- Extended HarddiskVolume setting to support removable devices.
- Fixed occasional error 233.
- Fixed problems in SandboxieExplorer (occasionally crashed on close).
- SandboxieIni configuration file can now include the UNICODE BOM prefix character, if desired.

and comment from @Tzuk regarding the Opera problem:

 

Not on my two systems, XP Home and Pro.
