Mounting BoxCryptor Drive Times Out

pcpro178

At system startup, BoxCryptor usually fails to mount its unencrypted volume/drive indicating that the operation timed out. If I shut down BoxCryptor and restart it, the program and volume/drive come up as expected. Is there a way to get BoxCryptor to automatically retry, perhaps after a wait period? This would be a nice improvement, if not already available. I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 and BoxCryptor 1.3.0.1. Thanks.

I'm having this exact problem as well. It seems to imply that an anti-virus program is conflicting, but this doesn't make sense if I can exit/restart it without a problem.

Same problem here, with different results at restart! Since 1.3.0.0 Boxcrypter is no longer able to mount a drive. No other software intefering!! After restart most times not able to mount. Even admin rights do not change anything! Sometimes it works to clear password!

Is it really a 1.3.0.0 Boxcryptor problem or does Dropbox new Version block it with reason?

I've tried auto-mounting both Dropbox and Google Drive encrypted folders with the same timeout error. I don't think it's Dropbox-specific.

I have Boxcryptor installed on two other PCs and don't experience the timeout, so it's definitely a software interaction or timing issue (the problem PC is the slowest of the three).

Hi everybody!

We're aware of the problem and it seems we've set the timeout a little bit aggressive for some older systems. We'll release a fix for that problem soon.

@Robert: Thanks for acknowledging this problem. This is unusual these days and much appreciated!

I just wanted to pitch in my two pennies that I see this also and reliably so, but on a fairly recent and not all too heavily loaded Win7 Pro Acer M5810 system (i5, 2.67 GHz, 8GB RAM).

I can reliably correct this behavior by downgrading to BoxCryptor 1.3.0.0 and equally reliably make it reappear by upgrading to 1.3.0.1.
