9/7/2011

12 Comments

 
There are instances when you lend your laptop or computer to someone else, and when you get it back, lo ….you discover to your horror that the files therein have turned topsy-turvy. Worse still, you find that quite some programmes are corrupted or deleted in its entirety,
Deep Freeze
and your machine is infested with a dozen viruses.  You cry in despair, and exclaim: Oh my God, I am ruined. What do I do now? You don’t need to cry if you are aware of the Deep Freeze Standard. This is a unique programme which freezes your computer in a way that would not allow anyone to  add, delete or modify a file or programme. While use of the computer is not restricted, the files and programmes will revert back to its original default condition once the computer restarts. Even the Administrator of the computer cannot alter anything. The use of the programme is recommended for those who lend computers/laptops to schools, colleges, institutions, etc. for temporary use of the students. The cyber-café too can also

use the programme to ensure that the original condition of the computers is not disturbed and the programmes and files stay intact.
A word of caution here. Before installing Deep Freeze, or enabling it, it is advisable to make a review of the files and programmes that you intend to keep on your machine. Once you have finalised the files, go ahead and install Deep Freeze, as indicated below,  and the files/programmes would remain frozen till you disable the programme.
It may be mentioned here that in the event of deciding to keep additional files/programmes or modifying/deleting them on a permanent footing, you need to disable the programme first. The process of disabling has been described below in detail. Enabling the Deep Freeze after installation of new programmes would take newer files as well in the default section, and that would also be frozen

How to Install Deep Freeze Standard :

The procedure for installation of the programme has been vividly explained in the following video. This has to be meticulously followed.
It is pertinent to mention that soon after the installation, and before, restarting your computer, you must ensure to put an appropriate password that would be handy for you to enable/disable the programme.
Note : If you fail to enter the correct password, you will never be able to Thaw (Unfreeze) your computer, even if you have attempted to format the drive.
Procedure to apply the ‘password’ is given below >>
  1. After installing go to Notification Area Icons
  2. You will there find Deep Freeze icon
  3. Open it by pressing – (CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + F6) or (SHIFT + double Click)
  4. Go to ‘password’ tab and fill up the relevant column
  5. The password that you have entered, will only allow to make changes in Deep Freeze
  6. Restart, and your computer get Deep Frozen
Now a question arises: “Once Deep Freeze has been installed, will it be possible to install a programme or file?”
The answer is a simple ‘yes’. It is possible to install a programme or file through the following procedure –:
  1. Go again to the Notification Area Icons
  2. Open Deep Freeze, as detailed above
  3. Enter the relevant password
  4. Go to ‘status’ tab, and tick ‘Boot Thawed’, and click ‘Apply and Reboot’
  5. This allows you to unfreeze your computer to enable you to add, modify or delete files
  6. For ensuring against tampering with your computer contents, you may again go for freezing your computer by following the above procedure, excepting the last one, where instead of ticking on ‘Boot Thawed’, tick on ‘Boot Frozen’.
  7. Click ‘Apply and Reboot’ and your computer will be back to the frozen state with the changes you sought.

Dear Sir/Madam:-
I have downloaded Deep Freeze Standard in my PC windows 7 Ultimate. I could not understand why I see the download is incomplete and I could not uninstall the program from my computer. Could you please help me . Should I try to download it without uninstalling or what? I am not expert in computer.
Thank you for your help.

To whom may concern
I am a new user, with admin rights at home. My system is using windows xp sp2, intel dual core 2.80Ghz processor, 1.5G RAM, and 160Gb seagates hard drive. I download Deep freeze v 7.22 standard from the faronics.com. I therefore entered the license key, before carry out installation.

Upon installation of the Faronics Deep Freeze v 7.22 (7.22.020.3453 to be exact), my computer restarts. It is the successful installation i assumed, as i will need to click "finish", to proceed.
Then, immediately the computer restarts successfully. However i couldn't find a single faronics icon , any one, neither from the tab next to clock nor in the control panel. In short i cannot access deep freeze at all before i even could set the password , or to do any configuration settings to it. Worse still, i cannot THAW it. The computer is set to frozen state , WHICH CLEAR EVERY CHANGES MADE. I cannot update anti virus software. It seems to be permanent now. Neither can i uninstall it because it is in frozen state, saying that i should disable it before first.

I also can't use Windows xp's system restore to erase it, because it goes back to the the current state always.
pLEASE address the solutions to me as soon as possible, or tell me where can i get help. I have search the FAQ section but to no avail.
Faronics support reprensentatives told me that my deep freeze is corrupted. Here's my technical info:
I have search in the respective faronics folder only to find this...
1)DFServe.exe( as for 7.22.020.3453 standard version)
Hence i cannot find the 1) Frzstate2k.exe, 2) DFMonitor.exe files

So , I believe it is corrupted.What must i do to restore everything back to its original, without having to reformat the hard drive...
Thank you for your time.

@Administrator, it does not work. There is no deep freeze icon or any at the add/remove programs in control panel showing sign of installation. At my computer> harddisk> program folder> faronics> install, only find one folder, which is DFserve.exe. I cannot find the other two

@Administrator
Hi , i have done what that, which is downloading DFServe.exe from the URL suggested previously, but nothing happens.Nothing appears. To my amazed is that, my problematic computer has DFServe.exe installed in it, but it does not have Frzstate2k.exe,and DFMonitor.exe. I still cannot set password and to disable it. Tell you what, i don't have a bear icon(deep freeze) at the bottom right of my windows screen. On more thing, regards the URL- the DFServe.exe downloaded is of different version, despite it is v7 also . Mine was v7.22.020.3453
Thanks
