Hi Trevor, I've had to deal with deep freeze for quite a while now. The major problem that I had was that Dragon NaturallySpeaking did not allow for saving speech files to an alternative folder/location. I believe that that has changed with version 6 and 7 DNS. Kurzweil 3000 saves its users files under the My Documents -- Kurzweil 3000 folders. Our My Documents folder was located on the "thawed" or D:\ drive so students could save their files. What they could not save were there user profiles. They would have to go in and set up their profiles each time, unless, I turned off deep freeze while we set up their profiles. The same applied to Jaws. ZoomText was pretty much no problem as it was easily adjusted by the user each time. It's been awhile since I have worked with deep freeze since our software is so out of date that we couldn't run it on Windows 2000 and I'm still awaiting delivery on all of our updated XP compatible (supposedly) Jaws, ZoomText, Kurzweil 1000, Kurzweil 3000, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking. One solution would be to run things on the network. Unfortunately, our network would not support this. Please let me know if you come across any solutions for the problems that I mentioned. I still have to work with deep freeze & Windows XP. Take care, Penny -----Original Message----- From: * EASI: Equal Access to Software & Information [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Trevor Wilks Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 8:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: deep freeze Hi My apologies if this question has been asked before (I seem to remember the topic but cannot find any emails on it). Has anyone used the software "Deep freeze" in an adaptive technology room before and has it caused any problems.
