Hi, I tried this on both the latest Sandboxie 3.64 and the latest beta version 3.65.03 (32-bit).

Installed fresh Chrome Portable in default sandbox. (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/GoogleChromePortable_17.0.963.65_online.paf.exe).

Go to youtube or any flash site.

You get a dropdown error: The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash.

The previous version of Chrome Portable 17.0.963.56 worked fine and did not have any issues.

Thx.

I installed the Chrome Portable version in a sandbox, and Flash works OK for me on XP at YouTube and the Adobe Flash test page.
Chrome 17.0.963.65

I've got the same problem with the latest Chrome 17.0.963.66 It downloads as 'new_chrome.exe' in the program folder with the user data in the same place. I've got everything in the user data folder allowed and still no flash but it's there w/o Sandboxie. I'm not sure where the built in flash plugin is located which is half the problem.

offthegrid mentioned the EXE name is new_chrome.exe.

If you rename this to chrome.exe when you use the beta version of Sandboxie 3.65.04, does this fix the problem?

I don't understand the reference to a file named "new_chrome.exe". I see nothing like that when I install the downloaded file into a sandbox on XP.
I re-installed "GoogleChromePortable_17.0.963.65_online.paf.exe" in a sandbox and then installed over top of it: "GoogleChromePortable_17.0.963.66_online.paf.exe

These are versions from PortableApps.com, and both of them give me an executable program called: "GoogleChromePortable.exe"

So I run the "GoogleChromePortable.exe" file to start the program.
I have no problem with videos at YouTube.

As far as the Flash plugin is concerned:
[Edit] In Chrome use the Wrench > Options > Under the Hood > "Content Settings..." button > Plug-ins > "Disable individual plug-ins" > click the "[+] Details" button on the right side of the window.

Remember though: This is a relative location for the plug-in file because the program doesn't know that it's installed inside of a sandbox.
Also, the exact path shown here depends on what path you used when you installed the program in a sandbox.
I used on XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Local Settings\Application Data\GoogleChromePortable
So, on XP the path that Chrome shows for me is:
C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Local Settings\Application Data\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\17.0.963.66\gcswf32.dll
Using my install path in the sandbox, the actual path to the sandboxed Flash plug-in file (using an unsandboxed Windows Explorer), would be:
C:\Sandbox\(user)\(sandbox name)\user\current\Local Settings\Application Data\GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\17.0.963.66\gcswf32.dll
Your path will vary, depending on what path you chose for the "GoggleChromePortable" folder.
[/Edit]
----
The only problem that I encountered when I first installed the app was that it wouldn't run from a 'Program Files' folder in the sandbox, like:
"C:\Program Files\GoogleChromePortable"
which in the sandbox would be:
C:\Sandbox\(user)\(sandbox name)\drive\C\Program Files\GoogleChromePortable

So I installed it at the same directory level as regular Chrome uses:
C:\Documents and Settings\(user)\Local Settings\Application Data\GoogleChromePortable
(%Local Appdata%\GoogleChromePortable)
(C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Local\GoogleChromePortable)

It also worked for me when installed in the sandbox at:
C:\GoogleChromePortable

Thanks for the suggestions, but for some weird reasons today everything is back to normal without having done anything!

It seems your version of google chrome auto updated to version 17.0.963.78 m. In my case the problem was gone with the update.

Indeed the problem had to do more with Chrome than Sandboxie it self.
