SYMPTOMS
When you use the Application Sharing feature in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005, some graphical effects, such as dimming and animation, that are contained in the program may cause issues.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, disable the graphical effects when you use the Application Sharing feature. To do this, follow these steps:

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.  Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate and then click the following subkey:

 Right-click GlyphEnabled, and then click Modify.

Note If the GlyphEnabled registry entry is not available, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:  On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. Type GlyphEnabled and then press ENTER.

When a Live Meeting presenter uses the Application Sharing feature, the title bar of the active window or of the shared window has a colored dot. The title bar also has text that describes the state of the sharing session, such as Currently Sharing or Sharing Paused. If the GlyphEnabled entry is available in the registry, and if this entry is set to NULL (0), the title bar that displays the state of the sharing session is not displayed. Make sure that the Value data box contains a NULL value (0).</li> Right-click DimmingEnabled, and then click Modify.

Note If the DimmingEnabled registry entry is not available, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:  On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.</li> Type DimmingEnabled, and then press ENTER.</li></ol>

If the DimmingEnabled registry entry is set to NULL, the dimming window is not used. The dimming effect is not applied to the part of the user's screen that is not shared.</li> Make sure that the Value data box contains a NULL value (0).</li> Right-click SidebarTransitionEnabled, and then click Modify.

Note If the SidebarTransitionEnabled registry entry is not available, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:  On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.</li> Type SidebarTransitionEnabled, and then press ENTER.</li></ol>

If the SidebarTransitionEnabled registry entry is set to NULL, the sharing sidebar transition animations are disabled.</li> Make sure that the Value data box contains a NULL value (0).</li></ol>
