Hi, everyone. I'm using a Windows 7 x64 laptop and I recently installed the latest version of Sandboxie which is 3.72. I've been able to use this program without any problems until about 2-3 days ago.
The last process that was done in Sandboxie was a download. After that, I remember shutting off my computer and the next time I turned it on, everything was slow. I've been experiencing freezes, the mouse stutters when I load something such as videos online. When I load a video online, it begins to buffer, and the mouse stutters, the audio sounds like a malfunctioning computer. After the video buffers enough the audio returns to normal.
I tried opening Sandboxie and it gave me several errors out of nowhere which is why I assumed Sandboxie was the cause of these problems. I start Sandboxie, and on the bottom right of the taskbar, an exclamation point shows up, after right-clicking and clicking 'Show Errors', a message box pops up saying:
'SBIE2331 Service start failed: [33/1056] An instance of the service is already running.'
After clicking OK, another message pops up and says:
'The Sandboxie driver (SbieDrv) is not available to Sandbox programs. Make sure both the driver and Sanboxie service (SbieSvc) have started successfully.'
I'm not sure why Sandboxie could be making my computer run slowly, but I would really appreciate some help with this.
I've disabled any and all virus/malware/spyware protection protections for this but nothing has worked. I've even installed and reinstalled Sandboxie several times to no avail.
Thank you!
