Hi, for some unknown reason the only browser that will work in the sandbox is Chromodo... IE and Firefox will not connect to the internet, either in or out of the sandbox, and Chrome crashes big time, but will run when out of the SB.... Do I re install CIS, or the browsers? any ideas? :(

Are you using the settings that I suggested in the Videos? Especially the Firewall setting that prevents sandboxed items from connecting to the Network?

settings are based on your 1st video, with exception of HIPS, which I've kept.... Chrome was fine until I tried to use Eagleget...

Then it's easy- the settings are to prevent things like zero-day keyloggers from connecting to the Internet to send out stolen data. So in order to get your browsers to work:

1). Don't sandbox them- there is absolutely no need to do so. Even if you run up against an exploit while you are browsing, the exploit will be automatically sandboxed and will do you no harm. The need to sandbox the browser is pointless.

2). If you still want to box the browser anyway, just change the Firewall setting that is shown at 1:25 of the video here to Allow requests: http://malwaretips.com/threads/comodo-firewall-8-2-0-4508-setup-and-test-part-2.46159/

Very glad to help! Although at first it seems like a nifty idea to sandbox the browers, it really isn't.
