SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 or in Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2, when you create an Instant Messaging conversation, you find that the Share Information Using Live Meeting option is unavailable from the dropdown menu in the upper-right corner of the conversation window.

This problem occurs after you install Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 or Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 and then you uninstall Microsoft Office Communicator 2005.
