The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you use a web browser other than Internet Explorer 4.0 (or higher) to view your animation, your computer may seem to become less responsive and run slower.

If you check the CPU utilization on the computer, it is at 100% utilization.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs in some animations, when you preview the animation in the Java run-time (browsers other than Internet Explorer 4 and higher).

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:

  Open the HTML page containing your animation in an HTML editor or text editor (such as Microsoft FrontPage or Notepad).   Locate the following line in the HTML code:    Change the VALUE parameter to a lower number, such as 20.0. Your code should be similar to the following:    Save the file and view your page in the web browser. 

You may need to try several values between 20.0 and 80.0, until you find a balance between the performance of your animation and the resources it may demand from the browser.
