Sandboxie Question


Tom AZ

Recommended Posts

Since I updated to Sandboxie 3.34 a few days ago, for some reason, I've been experiencing quite a few FireFox 2 annoyances (incomplete page loads, longer than usual delays, freezing up, etc.). Not totally sure this is due to the update, but it sure seems like it could be. Maybe there's just some sort of incompatibility thing with my machine.

 

Is it possible to "downdate" to a previous version? I don't really recall having any of these problems with v 3.32. Just wondered if I could just try re-installing 3.32 over the top of 3.34?

Not sure if you will be able to just reinstall an older version over the newer version but you definitely uninstall and reinstall the older version.

There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

Obviously, that crossed my mind. The only problem is that I now have some things configured in Sandboxie that I'm not sure I would remember how to re-create.

I have never used Sandboxie but does it have configuration files that you could save somewhere then restore after reinstalling or does it possibly have a way to export the configuration to a .txt file or .ini? How about just copying everything down on a sheet of paper if worst comes to worst?

You can make a copy of the Sandboxie.ini file Tom, which you'll find in the "C,\Windows". Then replace the newly installed ini with your copy.

 

I can't see anything in my Sandboxie.ini that's version specific, so it should work OK.
