Does Sandboxie work with games?

Hi again, I would love to sandbox some games but I'd imagine they use a lot of special software that might make them hard to sandbox (like directx, etc). Has anyone ran games in the sandbox, and if so did you have to do anything special? I'd definitely buy Sandboxie if I could do that. Thanks!

Hi, I just tried to answer my own question, and when I installed the Command and Conquer 3 demo ( located here: http://www.electronicarts.co.uk/games/8520/downloads/ ) it freezes at the initial splash screen. Do you have any ideas?

Yes, you can sandbox games, but it'll require some tracing so that you can allow all the correct resources to be opened.

If you have been trying this with version 2.86 of Sandboxie, try with the latest version and see if it behaves any differently.
