Possible to sandbox a driver in Win8.1?

[miniyazz]

I have a buggy driver which is occasionally frustrating. It was made by a guy in response to a community competition for getting an xbox controller chatpad working in Windows and he's done a great job on it getting it working at all but has done a bit of a runner and it's got a slight issue.

So the driver allows me to use the Xbox 360 controller Chatpad as a keyboard. Unfortunately it stops working every now and again randomly between 2mins to probably a few hours. This can be fixed by closing the software, unplugging and replugging the controller in, and starting the software up again.

Unfortunately every now and again when unplugging the controller or closing the software, Windows will crash requiring a reboot. This is highly inconvenient!

Ideally what I want to do is somehow 'sandbox' the driver so when it fails it doesn't take down the OS with it. Is this at all possible?

Cheers all

Sounds highly suspicious to me.

So every time you start the program it probably beacons out to some C2 site which downloads malware to your machine, then steals the information, wipes the security event logs then forces you to reboot your system

you could install sandboxie and use the resource access monitor function

Hmm well it seems legit enough to me, he's put the source files up as well, MIT license, here's the link if you're interested. Nice thought though
So sandboxie would allow me to see what resources it's accessing?

In my search for the link I did find another similar program someone's done to try
Open source also (New BSD license), will probably steal all my datas even more but hey!
