Introduction to Sandboxie

Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.

The red arrows indicate changes flowing from a running program into your computer. The box labeled Hard disk (no sandbox) shows changes by a program running normally. The box labeled Hard disk (with sandbox) shows changes by a program running under Sandboxie. The animation illustrates that Sandboxie is able to intercept the changes and isolate them within a sandbox, depicted as a yellow rectangle. It also illustrates that grouping the changes together makes it easy to delete all of them at once.

If your WAMP Server System tray Icon turned into yellow  and not working, Try following steps.

1. Click on WAMPServer System tray icon > Restart All Services

If icon still appears yellow,

2. Click on Icon > Apache > Service > Test Port 80 and See which program blocks WAMP/Apache default port 80

In my PC, I have installed Skype and it uses  port 80 to do communication. You can change it by Opening Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connections

Uncheck “Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections.” And Restart WAMP.

If problem still exists,

3. Click on WAMP icon > Apache > httpd.conf

Search for “Listen 80″ in the file. and replace “80″ with “81″ one or some other port number you want. And restart WAMP.

If default port is changed, you will have to add port number at the end of “localhost” to access. Ex – “http://localhost:81/”
