Re: Norton 360 - Unable to launch web browsers

I've been using Norton for years on all my computers along with Sandboxie and have always been able to get them to work together. Sometimes it takes a little tweaking but it's always worked out. This is the first time it came down to disabling a key, and very important, Norton feature. Norton is sti...

Re: Norton 360 - Unable to launch web browsers

I went ahead and contacted Norton. Spent a great deal of time providing screenshots, data, etc. Turns out it's blocking sbiecsvc.exe. I submitted a "false positive" report at https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/ so hopefully this will get cleared up since disabling the Norton Exploit Preventi...

Re: Norton 360 - Unable to launch web browsers

Disabling Norton Exploit Prevention also resolved the problem for me in Norton Security with Backup with Firefox, Chrome and IE in Windows 10. I'm coing to contact Norton about this.

Re: Windows 10 - Fall Update - [Supported in Sandboxie 5.22]

I've upgraded to 5.22 and am still unable to run any Web browsers in Sandboxie (IE, Chrome and Firefox) in either Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (no problem with Windows 7). These have all the latest Windows updates. In all cases I briefly see Sandboxie running several programs, but these quickly disappe...

Re: Norton 360 - Unable to launch web browsers

I completely reinstalled Norton on the Windows 8.1 computer. I completely removed Sandboxie and reinstalled in windows 10 Creators Update (including emptying the sandboxes). None of this made a difference. Also, as I noted, disabling Norton didn't help. I don't think the problem is Norton related bu...

Re: Norton 360 - Unable to launch web browsers

I'm experiencing very similar issues with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 since the latest October updates (but no problem with Windows 7). It's happening with Firefox, IE and Chrome. None of these browsers will run Sandboxed anymore and all were running fine before the Windows updates. See my post: "Win...

Re: Windows 10 & Windows 8.1 No Longer Work

I tried completely re-installing Sandboxie with default settings. I also disabled my Norton Security -- both the firewall and antivirus, but it didn't help. Note that the problem is on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 computers but not Windows 7. And there was no problem at all until the latest October Wi...

Re: Force Sandboxed Firefox as default browser

Thanks Craig. I tried everything you suggested and it made no difference. Something I forgot to mention in the original post: If I manually start the sandboxed Firefox browser using the command: "C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private and ...

Force Sandboxed Firefox as default browser

I've set up my computers to use Sandboxed Firefox as the default. I've set Sanboxie DefaultBox Settings/Applications/Web Browser/Firefox to "Force Firefox to run in this sandbox" and I have a registered copy. It's worked perfectly in Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 until the latest Windows 10 ...
