<< Hi Bruce. I never used greenbrowser but if its just a browser that's based on IE, there should be no problem running it sandboxed now or after April. Also, since its managed not by Microsoft, it should get updates after April. Bo >> Thanks, Bo. I know I can always get updates to GreenBrowser or a...

Sandboxie And IE-Engined Web Browsers:

Hello. This is my question: I am using Windows XP and considering that in about two months, when it will no longer be supported by Microsoft-meaning that there will be no more security updates by Microsoft, I am suspecting that using any web browser after this time that depends on the Internet Explo...

Updated Review Of 4.06:

I am writing this updated review today, on 10.29: The 4.06 does appear to SLIGHTLY slow down my browsing compared to version 3.76. I didn't make the connection earlier. However, if I am right, this is only a negligable difference concerning speed, and for such a small difference, I would still gladl...

4.06 So-Far So Good!

To let TZuk know, it's almost a week since i've been using the 4.06 and so-far, so good! BTW: Sandboxie is the most versatile program I know (for so many purposes)! Still being on dialup, I find using OLD Opera 9.64 gives me the speed roughly of WiFi! Now i'm surfing confidently again with this brow...

Review Of Version 4.06

I just installed the new 4.06 almost a day ago and have so-far tried it out a bit. So-far, it seems that it is much better than anything between the 4.02 and 4.05 Beta. Between these versions, I found numerous REPEAT processes from Sandboxie in the task manager, I mean SEVERAL, not just one of each ...

Freezups With 4.02 Through 4.05

Since 4.02, through 4.05 Beta, Sandboxie provoked many freezes when running browsers in it. A few days ago, I made a very positive post of the 4.05 Beta. For a few days, my browsing in it was fluent and very fast. However, that only lasted for a few days, before reverting to what the 4.02 and 4.05 d...

4.05 Beta Review-Great!

I just tried the 4.05 beta version and as far as I am concerned, this is the best version yet! I found the last good version for me was the 3.76. The 4.02 and 4.04 to have slowed my computer down when browsing or using Sandboxie for other things. But I can brows so fast with the 4.05, it could almos...

Update On Taskbar Icon:

Yes, you were right. Very simple. I just had to re-make the icons and tell it to open when starting those programs. Lesson learned here: Don't take it for granted all my settings are going to automatically remain the same when overriding on installations. Also, the programs no longer are lingering o...

Followup On Taskbar Icon and Color Frame:

Guest Writes: << If you start Sandboxie Control, by using: Start button > All Programs > Sandboxie > Sandboxie Control, does the tray icon show? >> Yes it does. However, before I upgraded to the 354, I had it where the taskbar icon only came up when I clicked on a shortcut I made for a sandboxed pro...

Taskbar Icon And Color Box Gone In 354 For Me.

I just upgraded to the 3.54. I have tested it and have two issues: 1) The Sandboxie Icon no longer displays on my taskbar when I call up a program I have sandboxed. 2) Neither does the color box I have set to surround the sandboxed program display its color. However, the pound sign icon still correc...

RE: Freezeups 3.46-Update Report

Dear Tzuk: I was mistaken. The problem with the freeze ups was not due to Sandboxie. Last night, I ran Opera outside of Sandboxie to text it. After a while, I had the same problem, and that was with the 3442. Even though I did not change any security programs since I started having the problem, I do...

STEVE: This has been happening to me with IE, Firefox, and Opera with the last few versions. One way to make it unfreeze for me is to right-click outside of the browser on the desktop works for me, not exactly what I want. I am using 3.46 on windows xp sp-3. Steven, thanks. However, in my case, abso...

RE:346 Freezes

TZUK: I'm afraid I just don't know what to say to that. BRUCE: I understand and appreciate your intention to help. I do recall though, (while I didn't examine this carefully), when I was running the 3.46, when I pressed control-alt-delete and looked at the processes, it seemed virtually everything r...
