LOVING this program. I was having trouble with Returnil and this one is great no problems what so ever
I know. I enter freeze mode to test software. No need for pesky uninstallers, registry clean ups, etc. I would like to try however the new Returnill for Windows 8.
I assume this only protects the C:\ Drive and not other system partitions? Basically, If I were to revert system changes from Time Freeze, it would only revert the changes made on C:\, and not on D:\, E:\, Etc.? Am I correct on this?
Hi Ty, the system partition is the only one protected. The option to protect other partitions is not available in TTF. Bo
TTF is similar to older "LV brother" - WTF. It only protect system disk and...if you want...some chosen folders on other installed disk.
Sorry...I didn't understand you: - what does protects only system partition...about what you have wrote - TTF or WTF? - both apps can protect system disk C: - both apps can protect chosen folders - both app can't protect other disk/partition - and I think my words was correct...what is diference between system disk and system partition in this context?
protecting system disk and protecting chosen folders are different tech. folder protection is more like a folder locker.
@Ty, in TTF, the option to protect folders works similarly as "Blocked File access" does in Sandboxie. You can use this setting to block programs running in frozen mode from having access to your personal/sensitive files and folders. Bo
Have tested TTF on a older laptop setup with XP and the performance hit doesn't seem too bad. Planning to upgrade these same laptops to Win 7 and then install TTF on them but aware they will be worked a lot harder harder with Win 7. Current spec with Win XP is 512MB RAM and Celeron M 520 1.6Ghz Will be upgrading RAM to 1.5GB as part of upgrade to Win 7 (and tweaking services and graphics settings etc. to maximise performance) which seems to work reasonably well on a test I did on them a while back, but have not yet added TTF into the mix. I tried Comdo Time Machine which didn't slow anything down too much, but then found it wouldn't install on all machines (looking for solution over a couple of different models, some to install to XP, some to Win7) which is why I'm now looking at TTF as a slightly different way to get the desired result*. *To get laptops easily back to a "baseline" without having to Ghost them every time they have been lent to a learner. Will be using TTF plus a partition for file persistence, with a File Shredder for privacy between learners. Anyone got any idea (or better still experience) whether I can expect TTF to take a noticeably bigger toll with Win 7 than XP?
I've got abit of an issue with my Acer Aspire One. On start up i keep getting the screen that advises you to use Start Up Repair. If i click enter on ''Start Windows normally'' it still starts fine. I have Tool Wiz unchecked in Start Up in MSCONFIG as on windows trouble shoot it WAS telling me i have too many programs running on start up. I now use the minimum amount of programs on start up and it was working fine up until recently. I always simply turn off my laptop via windows rather than restart with TWTF. My system; Comodo CIS Rapport TWTF
Is there an official support forum for this? According to their FAQ it should work with SSDs. Well, not with mine (Kingston). Every time I do a proper reboot (not just sleep) CHKDSK runs.
I don't think there's a forum anymore but you can write to them. http://www.toolwiz.com/contact-us/ Bo
Installed TTF (from Toolwiz Care) yesterday. No problems on this antique Pentium 4 Dell Dimension 3000 with 2G RAM and Vista. TTF working very nicely, based on barely a day of use. I'm loving the whole Toolwiz Care package in fact.
So testing Toolwiz Timefreeze, it seems unusable for us with an initial test. The cache set up it not that bigt and I can't increase its maximum size. The cache fills up even with inactivity and a couple of hours is enough to fill it up just leaving it on without doing a thing - don't know how quick it would fill up with actual use. We are loaning to learners and I think the cache overload message would be off-putting, let alone the computer crashing as a result. Any suggestions? Either to fix this, or an alternative product? Have a budget, but its not a big one!
Hi James, its been about 10 months since I used TTF but the size of the cache file created by TTF when protection was enabled was never an issue for me, no matter what I did or how long I used the program. I am getting old (shaky memory) but I think the cache file was about 4 GB, I never attempted to change the size and never had a reason to do so. I think TTF is a very nice program but if you want to try something else, I suggest you try Shadow defender. I moved my W7 from TTF to SD and my XP from WTF to SD because I believe SD is the best program of its type. Its not free but the license is lifetime. Bo
Going to try Reboot Restore RX as it doesn't seem to have the cache issue. Not as secure as we'd like as no password protection. but hopefully we won't have determined "hackers", as the programme is desgined to help people take first step on the internet! We've hidden the programme so people would have to know how to access the start up console...
