Forums - Adobe Connect User Community

I've not seen this issue either and I run vista. Have you tried to disable Aero along with other items running that could be causing performance issues during your meetings?

Maybe start up in diagnostic mode so that your start up items arent loading and check to make sure it isn't software that's pre-loaded causing issues.

Good luck.

One more thing:  A Presenter file posted at acrobat.com played fine.

After speaking with Thomas, we wanted to clear up the reports of a bug.  There was a miscommunication resulting in the proceeding post.  There have been reports of slowness with Vista, but not pertaining to Connect or any other specific application.  The more common cause, pointed to previously in this thread, is Aero.  Aero is Vista's new GUI interface, and is very taxing on the system.

Below are steps on how to turn this functionality off.  Doing so frees allot of system resources which should help to improve performance.

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Appearance and Personalization.
3. Under Personalization, click Change the color scheme.
4. In the Appearance Settings dialog, click Windows Vista Basic, and then click OK. Or, if you prefer a Windows 2000-style interface, click Windows Standard, and then click OK.

There are further steps beyond these for troubleshooting performance issues.  If after disabling Aero, you continue to encounter performance issues I recommend contacting Adobe support directly, or your partner for assistance in troubleshooting the issue.

Disable User Account Control (UAC) the Easy Way on Win 7 or Vista

I’ve previously written about a way to enable or disable UAC from the command line. This is an easier method that you can use to do the same thing from the GUI interface in either Windows 7 or Vista. To recap my earlier article, UAC is ANNOYING.

Note: Disabling UAC will lead to a less secure system, so be warned.

Disable UAC on Windows Vista

Open up Control Panel, and type in “UAC” into the search box. You’ll see a link for “Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off”:

On the next screen you should uncheck the box for “Use User Account Control (UAC)”, and then click on the OK button.

You’ll need to reboot your computer before the changes take effect, but you should be all done with annoying prompts.

Disable UAC on Windows 7

Windows 7 makes it much easier to deal with UAC settings, and in fact you don’t have to completely disable UAC if you don’t want to. Just type UAC into the start menu or Control Panel search box.

You can simply drag the slider up or down, depending on how often you want to be alerted.

If you drag it all the way down to the bottom, you’ll have disabled it entirely.
