[OPLINTECH] Windows 7, Deep Freeze, & remote desktop

[Chad Neeper]

That's a very specific set of parameters. You'll probably need to 
involve Faronics support to get an answer. Support used to be pretty 
responsive to problems several years ago. I haven't had any dealings 
with them since they (greatly) expanded their product line, though. 
They're probably going to be your best hope for a resolution/answer.
