Fixes in 4.17.8
1) Fixed rare BSOD reported by APMichael that could occur when resuming from sleep.
Fixes in 4.17.7
1) The print spooler is now allowed to write files outside the sandbox according to OpenFilePath settings. So for example, with BullZip PDF Printer, you can open the folders it uses to store its work files.
Fixes in 4.17.6
1) The print spooler is now allowed to write temporary files into its own spooler work folder outside the sandbox. This should eliminate the SBIE1319 msgs when not printing to file.
Fixes in 4.17.5
1) More print spooler block improvements. Now, when you get the error "SBIE1319 Blocked spooler print to file", you can double-click the error message to open the print spooler for that particular process.
2) I removed the spooler print to file property sheet in the sandbox settings. This is too risky to allow setting it permanently in the GUI where it can easily be forgotten. You can still add AllowSpoolerPrintToFile=y manually in sandbox.ini.
3) Error msgs when auto-deleting a sandbox will now be shown to the user.
Fixes in 4.17.4
1) The print spooler block has been improved. Any time a sandboxed process uses the print spooler to write to a file, it will be blocked and you will get error "SBIE1319 Blocked spooler print to file".
Even when not printing to file, sometimes the print spooler will attempt to write temporary files and be blocked by Sandboxie. The print still prints successfully. If these error popups become annoying, just hide SBIE1319.
You can allow the print spooler to write outside the sandbox under Sandbox Settings->Restrictions->Print Spooler. See that property sheet for more information.
Fixes in 4.17.3
1) Fixed Chrome SBIE2205 Service not implemented: Win32Init.5 (00000005)
2) Changed hook for ChangeDisplaySettingsEx() to fix game using undocumented flag.
3) Added new sandbox.ini setting: AllowPrintToFile. The default is AllowPrintToFile=n.
Print to file via the print spooler is a security hole which behaves very differently in Win 7 vs. Win 8. In Win 7, we can allow most print to file. In Win 8, due to MS printer driver changes, we have to block most print to file requests. So Win 7 users most likely will not have to add this setting in sandbox.ini. For Win 8 users, if you want to be able to print to file, you need to add AllowPrintToFile=y. I suggest you only do this temporarily because it does open a security hole. When Sandboxie blocks a print to file, you will get error "SBIE1319 Blocked request to print to file".
Fixes in 4.17.2
1) Added Hitman Pro Alert to templates.ini
2) Changed hook for ChangeDisplaySettingsEx() to allow CDS_RESET. A user reported that a game (fifa15) is trying to use this and failing resulting in incorrect display colors.
3) DFS mapped drives are now supported (http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/view ... 5&p=100656)
4) VMWare HGFS (Host Guest File System) mapped drives are now supported.
5) A BSOD bugcheck reported by a user when using bittorrent has been removed (this was a rare situation). SbieDrv was detecting corrupted memory when no corruption had occurred.
6) Fixed a rare bug in clipboard handling that could crash SbieSvc.
7) WebEx running under Chrome would sometimes hang.
Fixes in 4.17.1
1) Recent Windows update in Win 8-64 causes Skype (and possibly other apps) to issue error SBIE2335 Initialization failed for process Skype.exe [33 / 0]
