[ol]- Summary When resetting the sandbox, task seems to start for ever but is quick to happen;when it completes, task still appear as “starting” in Task Manager and won’t go until rebooting. Problem happens randomly a few times after fresh install
Can U reproduce the problem & if so how reliably?: Yes, even upon clean uninstall and reinstall using both Norton Removal Tool and Comodo Uninstaller Tool as reported by Chiron.
If U can, exact steps to reproduce. If not, exactly what U did & what happened: Opened Dragon sandboxed (Kiosk), surfed a bit, then closed it and resetted the Sandbox.
If not obvious, what U expected to happen: A fast reset and then no resetting in Task Manager
If a software compatibility problem have U tried the conflict FAQ?: No
Any software except CIS/OS involved? If so - name, & exact version:May be Sandboxie v.3.76 (stable) because it also uses a virtual sandbox. Lately, I don’t think Sandboxie is involved.
Any other information, eg your guess at the cause, how U tried to fix it etc:No, tried the default installation in CIS 6, uninstalling then cleanly reinstalling but problem still there.
Always attach - Diagnostics file, Watch Activity process list, dump if freeze/crash. (If complex - CIS logs & config, screenshots, video, zipped program - not m’ware).See below

Updating!!!
For those who still need to run Sandboxie and also sometime a Comodo sandbox browser, the problem is solved by installing the latest Sandboxie beta, actually I tested version 4.01.05 64 bits! So you can keep both now! :P0l P.S.: After less than 24 h, I uninstalled latest beta of Sandboxie also because the problem reappeared again. I’m better off with CIS 6 only!..
While (the resetting sandbox task) “weaky”, it’s certainly better without running Sandboxie on the same pc if you want to use also the Comodo Sandbox. Make your choice! ;D
I didn’t expect to reply but I had more to say about the resetting task weirdness (sensitivity). Ok, the Sandbox resets, eventhough it seems to go for ever, but the tassk even when the process is gone after clicking “continue”, still says it’s starting (but it already runned…!). I have problems with latest version of Microsoft Silverlight v.5.1.20125.0 in running it in Comodo Sandbox. Unlike prior edition and running it unsandboxed (only way it sure works even with the latest version), I’m unable to use the controls or to send it full screen. I tried installing the last beta (outdated) and still buggy I was able to run full screen. But my browser was yelling it was outdated and unsecure. So I updated Silverlight before resetting the Sandbox. Hitting the reset button brought me to my problem, solved by uninstalling Silverlight and rebooting. Reset was now correctly working…
Got a be “crazy”!!! I reinstalled Sandboxie 3.76 (the beta one is still too much buggy). Guess what? The resetting works perfectly well. I don’t understand. Sometimes the task goes on starting and never ends, sometimes it behaves normally! ???
Yes your bug report is ok, but I have another so called dysfunction in the Comodo sandbox with the Silverlight that tends me to use sandboxie rather than the Comodo Sandbox and Google Chrome rather than Comodo Dragon. It’s sad!
Sorry for delay in reply. This is made very complex by the amount of security software you are running.
Could I suggest you try all the recommended options in my FAQ here and report back.
Meanwhile I will temporarily transfer you to help, if that is OK. We can move back later if these suggestions don’t help you.
Best wishes

From the information you have given I am not clear whether this is a bug/issue.
For the moment I will transfer you to help so you can work through this issue with users and mods in this forum and hopefully resolve it. I hope that is OK.
Please ask any mod to move this report back to the bugs forum if it becomes clear that it is a bug/issue.
Thanks Mouse1. With update to v.2801:PROBLEM TOTALLY SOLVED, even MICROSOFT SILVERLIGHT works as well as in Sandboxie v. 3.76 in full screen. I’m really happy and a proud Comodo fan and user now! Many thanks to the Community for precious help!!!
If you run resetting sandbox with another task in task manager, the problem reappears even in v.2801. Had to reboot many times. Now back to normal. Note the resetting is normal, it’s only the task in task manager that is starting forever, and also to get to the final screen continue you wait longer (more than 5 minutes) than usual. For the Silverlight it’s same, it runned a few times correctly and today I can’t watch it full screen unless using it with Sandboxie browser or unsandboxed ???
No in fact, as soon as we hit reset, the reset is done but sometimes it still shows in the task manager it is still starting and it never ends until rebooting! I managed now to reinstall cleanly two times CIS 2801 for the Silverlight bug but I haven’t got yet the resetting problem for now on. For silverlight, it appears to be linked between the Comodo Sandbox and Microsoft Silverligth 5.1. ???
Just about to forward this and noticed that your Watch Activity process list was still missing. Could you add it please then I will forward this tomorrow.
Done. I even opened Dragon in Comodo Sandbox with Microsoft Silverlight running. It runned fine full screen the first time but when I went back to normal screen I wasn’t able to go back to the control nor the full screen anymore!
