Running virtualized does take more resources.
Your description however sounds odd
Try deleting the 'running virtualized' from the 2 browsers (within Avast and reboot
Test both browsers
Do a repair of Avast via 'add/remove' and reboot.
Test both browsers
Try running virtualized again
David,
Thanks so much for your response. Here are my specs: Windows 7, Service Pack 1, 64 bit. Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz and RAM is 4.00 GB (3.74 usable).
I've done what you advised. When I removed the browsers from running virtualized, rebooted and ran the browsers outside of sandbox, I had no problem. The browsers open up w/in a second or two.
I did the Avast repair, rebooted, and again ran the browsers unvirtualized. No problem.
Then I ran Firefox virtualized and it took 1min50sec for it to open up. Then I clicked on Internet Explorer and it opened up w/in a second or two. Strange. So I clicked to open a new Firefox window. It also opened up immediately. I rebooted and tried this same test again w/same exact results.
I then rebooted and opened Internet Explorer virtualized FIRST. It took approximately 2 minutes to open up. I clicked to open Firefox and it opened immediately, as did a 2nd click of Internet Explorer.
It seems that it takes sandbox about 2 minutes after the opening of browser for it to "fully load" and open the browser
Then after that it opens immediately? Is this how it is supposed to work?
