Why, yes, it is.

I could test this on Windows 2000, which (unlike XP) allows new accounts with the same name as the computer.

Got same results with USE=3.

Here's an updated SbieSvc for use with version 2.85:

http://www.sandboxie.com/SbieSvc.exe

To replace it, first stop the SbieSvc service (that would be "net stop sbiesvc" from a command prompt).

Then restart the service ("net start sbiesvc") or your computer.

That seems to do it for me. Thanks.

Both answers are Yes:
1) the machine is named as the user on it;
2) this update has fixed the issue for me.

Thank you!

Thank you. Sorry I created the mess in the first place.

Now I just would like to hear from Hank52 that it solves the problem for him as well, because he seems to have a slightly different variation than anyone else. (No USE=3 for him, as far as I remember.)

Now I feel I must pay for the SandBoxIE, but it is difficult to do from Russia...

I also have the machine name the same as username. The fix has been applied and I now have 2.85 up and running without any problem.

Thanks, tzuk

I've now updated the installer package for version 2.85 (32-bit) to include this fix.

Thanks tzuk. Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. Lousy Work Hours.

I decided to try another Install of the Program a few minutes ago with a new Download of the Installer, just in case the other one was Corrupted, and it Installed just fine??

Then I came back here and read you're Post about the Updated Installer. Well, I guess that explains why it Installed OK.



His Set-up is similar to mine, although there are some differences I can't figure out.

Thanks for all your hard work on a great Program. I'm going to have to put some $$$ in the Mail for all your efforts.

Thanks again for all your help.

Ken:

hello ronen, I've been suffering from the same problem. I tried a clean uninstall / reinstall of v2.85 with the updated SbieSvc.exe, but no way.

the popups windows I get looks like the following:



any solution for this?

thanks a lot.

Hi ronen.

I'm still having the same problem unfortunately, even with the updated 2.85.
2.84 didn't have this problem at all.

I have popup messages from Sandboxie Driver (20) and (4).

My computer (WinXP-SP2) is not named as the user accout on it. "net localgroup administratoren" shows me "Administrator" and "Oliver".

Please post the results of running

http://www.sandboxie.com/TSid.exe

Keep in mind, this is a console program, and should be used in a command prompt window.

Hi Ronen.
Here's the results.


Count=5 rc=00000000 SID=<S-1-5-21-1355169409-1694141025-3196435591-1008> NAME=<VUSR_TSIB1102> USE=<1>

As you can see, TSid did not list a user with a SID that ends with -2122. The question is why? Is your user account defined on the local machine, or somewhere else?

If you type "net user" in a command prompt window, do you see your user account listed?
