Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.
Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Sandboxie Classic 5.55.0 (32-bit).

What's new in this version:
Added:
- added Privacy enhanced mode, sandboxes with "UsePrivacyMode=y" will not allow read access to locations containing user data
- all locations except generic Windows system paths will need to be opened explicitly for read and/or write access
- using "NormalFilePath=...", "NormalKeyPath=...", "NormalIpcPath=..." allows to open locations to be readable and sandboxed
- added new "App Compartment" mode of operation, it's enabled by adding "NoSecurityIsolation=y" to the box configuration
- in this mode, security is traded in for compatibility, it should not be used for untrusted applications
- note: in this mode, file and registry filtering are still in place, hence processes run without administrative privileges
- it is reasonably safe, all filtering can be disabled with "NoSecurityFiltering=y"
- added experimental use of ObRegisterCallbacks to filter object creation and duplication
- this filtering is independent from the regular SbieDrv's syscall-based filtering, hence it also applies to App Compartments
- with it enabled, an application running in a compartment will not be able to manipulate processes running outside the sandbox
- Note: this feature improves the security of unisolated App Compartment boxes
- to enable this feature, set "EnableObjectFiltering=y" in the global section and reload the driver
- when globally activated, the filtering can be disabled for individual boxes with "DisableObjectFilter=y"
- added "DontOpenForBoxed=n", this option disables the discrimination of boxed processes for open file and open key directives
- this behaviour does not really improve security anyways, but may be annoying, also app compartments always disable this
- added setting to entirely open access to the COM infrastructure
Changed:
- reworked the resource access path matching mechanism to optionally apply more specific rules over less specific ones
- for example "OpenFilePath=C:\User\Me\AppData\Firefox takes precedence over "WriteFilePath=C:\User\Me"
- to enable this new behaviour, add "UseRuleSpecificity=y" to your Sandboxie.ini, this behaviour is always enabled in Privacy enhanced mode
- added "NormalFilePath=..." to restore default Sandboxie behaviour on a given path
- added "OpenConfPath=...", which similarly to "OpenPipePath=..." is a "OpenKeyPath=..." variant which applies to executables located in the sandbox
- removed option to copy a box during creation, instead the box context menu offers a duplication option
- reworked the box creation dialog to offer new box types
Fixed:
- SBIE1401 notification during Sandboxie Plus uninstall
- memory leak in driver handling FLT_FILE_NAME_INFORMATION
