INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to improve the performance of application sharing in Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2005.



MORE INFORMATION
To improve the performance of application sharing in Live Meeting 2005, use one or more of the following methods, as appropriate for your situation:  Stop the applications and the services that you do not use during the application sharing session. Each application that is running in the background decreases the system resources that are available for application sharing. If you are using Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Microsoft Windows XP, you can modify the system performance options to provide additional resources to background applications. The Live Meeting application sharing plug-in is a background process. If you give this process equal processor time, the performance of application sharing may improve. To modify the system performance options, follow these steps:  Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Click the Advanced tab. Under Performance, click Settings. In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab. Under Processor scheduling, click Background service, and then click OK.</li> Click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.</li></ol>

Note This option is not available if you are using Microsoft Windows 98.</li> If you are using Windows XP, you can disable desktop visual effects to improve the performance of application sharing. Some computers may run slower if desktop visual effects are enabled. To disable desktop visual effects, follow these steps: <ol> Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.</li> In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.</li> Under Performance, click Settings to open the Performance Options dialog box.</li> On the Visual Effects tab, click Adjust for best performance, and then click OK.</li> Click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.</li></ol> </li> Use the display properties to reduce the number of colors that are displayed by the monitor. When you reduce the color settings, you also reduce the data that is sent over the network. This may improve the performance of application sharing. To modify the color settings, follow these steps: <ol> Right-click the desktop, and then click Properties.</li> Click the Settings tab.</li> Under Color quality, click Medium (16 bit), and then click OK.</li></ol> </li> Match the color depth of the application sharing session to the color depth of your desktop. To do this, follow these steps: <ol> Join the Live Meeting session as a presenter.</li> On the Share menu, click Share Application.</li> In the Sharing - Live Meeting dialog box, click the Display tab, and then click the color setting that matches your desktop display under Colors.</li> Click Start sharing now, and then click OK.</li></ol> </li></ul>
