To display the **Settings** dialog box, in Application Compatibility Manager (ACM), on the **Tools** menu, click **Settings**.

In the **Settings** dialog box, on the **Preferences** tab, use the following controls to join or leave the ACT Community, send ACT usage data to Microsoft, or be notified when there are updates available for ACT.

|
||
If this check box is selected, you are a member of the ACT Community and can share application compatibility data with other ACT users.
|
||
|
||
If this check box is cleared, you still receive compatibility data from the Microsoft compatibility database, but not from other ACT users.
|
||

|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
If this check box is cleared, your ACT usage data is not sent to Microsoft.

||
|
||
<a href="" id="notify-me-when-a-newer-version-of-act-is-available--recommended-"></a>**Notify me when a newer version of ACT is available (recommended)**
