Hi Gator71,

Try the repair of avast! installation.

To do this:

For Windows Vista & 7

1. Goto Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
2. Select and double click on 'avast! Antivirus'
3. Choose 'Repair' option from the left pane and follow the direction of the setup.
4. Reboot your computer

Windows 7 32 bit

The error message indicates that one of your avast! file is missing or corrupt.
Try the repair of installation as that should replace the problematic file.

When I try to run sandboxie this is one of the error pop-ups I get...

Nope i've re-installed/reformatted a few times and avast still conflicts with sandboxie...sandboxie works fine until I install avast!
The last thing I want to do is not use avast anymore, it's my fav free av, but I also love sandboxie so why can't they co-exist?

BTW My avast install worked fine because I just looked and snxhk.dll is in the avast folder

I don't suppose you are trying to run Avast! in Sandboxie?

Maybe you need to add mutual exclusions?

In avast, go to the File System Shield -> EXPERT settings -> exclusions. Add here the relevant files for sandboxie and save.

There might be additional exclusions necessary in other shields too.

BTW, probably you would want to stop / cancel any "sandbox - like"  function / feature of avast.

No...just my browsers

[osants911]

Is avast! listed on Software Compatibility of Sandboxie? ('Sandboxie Control' > 'Configure' > 'Software Compatibility')

Do I add the main exe to exclusions or what?

Well no problem here with sandboxie 6.32 and avast! free 6.0.1367 on my win7 (32bit) netbook.

I have made no changes in the avast settings for sandboxie, but sandboxie detected, ObjectDock, avast! antivirus and 7-Zip Shell Extension in the Sandboxie Control - Configure - Software Compatibility, section so perhaps you need to check that as nnoa110 mentioned. I had never ventured into that sandboxie software compatibility before.

I'm only using it on my browser, firefox 9.0.1 though.

What is so weird is it works fine on xp avast/sandboxie...but on win 7 it gives me crap!

I also get 7 zip,avast and synaptics touchpad in software compatability
