The point is: I'm using windows mainly as an end-user - not as developer.

Our software was been developed for an micro-pc that runs OS X or a small Debian. Due missing drivers we have to switch to windows.

Now the main thing: I saw so much Infoscreens that: have bluescreens, an windows error prompt over their software or some popus - or even worse the user got in the actual windows system.

Our software is an webapp that runs in Google Chrome Kiosk Mode (autostart with a link) – The users can also use the touchscreen, but have no keyboard.

So are there any ready to use utils to fix all that?

We are familiar with Windows but mainly develop things on *nix-sytems.

There are several programs which offer features to lock down a computer to use it as a public kiosk or digital signage system. Also take into account that Windows 8.1 offers a kiosk mode (assigned access feature).

Some program examples:

This can be a starting point to the OP.

In order to perform a quick test, we used Gmail Notifier Pro to create pop-ups on a Windows 7 machine and checked if the program blocked the pop-up.
So far the following programs didn't block the pop-up: Secure Lockdown, FrontFace Lockdown Tool, AlwaysUp.
Nonetheless, Advanced Internet Kiosk blocked it.

  • Please read How do I recommend software for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. At the very least you should provide more than just a link, for example some additional information about the software itself, and how it can be used to solve the problem in the question.
