We also are running JAWS on some of our public machines with DeepFreeze,
and haven’t had issues. Mr. Guilford’s comments are correct, though – to avoid
users having to configure software or answer registration questions, we pre-configure
the default user profile so that JAWS and ZoomText and everything else are
already set up the way we want them before the machines are frozen.

We have several installations of JAWS and DeepFreeze doesn't interfere with
them. DeepFreeze doesn't seem to have any negative effects on any software I
can think of providing permanent changes are not required for routine operation
of that software. Even then, as you've read, a "thawed" drive can be
created where permanent changes are allowed.
DeepFreeze is so transparent to OS operations that, should you forget to thaw
your Program Files drive as Administrator, you could run through a program
installation successfully only to find your work wiped clean on system restart!

Do
any of you have Deep Freeze running with JAWS? Does it work? :-) What about
Kurzweil 3000?
Thanks,
