It depends what you are trying to show. If what is happening is some kind of strange interaction between my hardware (or software) configuration and what Sandboxie does during installation, it would in fact be fruitless to run the test on another machine.soccerfan wrote:JimInNashville,
Please test sandboxie 3.42 on a different, 'non-infected' machine.
Only the results of such a test will give you a conclusive answer.
Let me put it this way. Suppose I use Active@Killdisk to completely zero the HD on the machine, disconnect from the internet, repartition, reformat using an original Dell OEM WinXP SP2 disk, and then install SandBoxie 3.42. If the problem does not appear before installation and does appear after, then disappears after uninstallation, would that be evidence of a problem or not?
All kinds of interesting things happen with software interactions. For example, the generally *very* well-behaved PrevX disables printing to Adobe PDF from Internet Explorer 8 once update 9.20 is added to Adobe Acrobat Professional, but *not before*, and *not* from any other application I have tested. This problem has been replicated through two independent (from scratch) machine builds on my machine, and disabling PrevX and restarting the browser (or even opening a new tab) allows printing.
If I went on some board and claimed I had this problem, numerous people might claim the problem does not exist (for them). For example, they might only have Acrobat 9.0, not 9.2. Or they might be using a different browser. Or, for all I know, the problem does not occur with Vista or Win7.
As time permits, I'll experiment further with this and let everyone know what happens.
Thanks to all,
Jim
