I downloaded Sandboxie a while ago, thanks to a thread from this site. It worked great until recently. Now everytime I try to run IMVU through Sandboxie, it gives me an error. This is what it says in the Error Log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "IMVUClient.py", line 3, in <module>
File "imvu\__init__.pyo", line 104, in <module>
File "imvu\__init__.pyo", line 100, in _setup
File "imvu\__init__.pyo", line 26, in _exeSetup
File "imvu\fs\__init__.pyo", line 42, in <module>
File "imvu\opsys.pyo", line 26, in importPlatform
File "imvu\fs\windows.pyo", line 5, in <module>
File "win32file.pyo", line 12, in <module>
File "win32file.pyo", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

So I'm guessing it has something to do with the win32file.pyo? I've googled that also... still no avail.
I can run IMVU normally without any problems.. only happens when I try to run it through Sandboxie.
Anyone know how to fix this?
If not, anyone know an alternative program I can run two imvu clients with?

It means that that Sandboxie is unable to load a specific dll file and therefore Imvu can't run because the dll file holds code that the client needs to function.

Okay, thanks. I'll try to see which DLL file is missing.

To get IMVU v471.0 to work with Sandboxie, follow these steps:

1) Open Sandboxie Control,
2) Click the sandbox menu option
3) Then click "Create New Sandbox" and name it.
4) After that, right click your new sandbox and click "Run Sandboxed", then "Any Program".
5) Navigate to the IMVUClient folder and choose "IMVUClient.exe".

DONE!

If you don't do this and you try using the default Sandbox, imvu will either give you memory errors or bug reporting errors and just close.
