SYMPTOMS
You cannot start a sharing conversation session in Microsoft Office Communicator 2005.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because Communicator 2005 uses NetMeeting to share a conversation. If NetMeeting is configured to use certificates, you cannot start a sharing conversation session in Communicator 2005.

 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Security tab.
 * 3) In the Certificates area, click Use privacy (encryption) only, and then click OK.
