Is EndNote compatible with a 64-bit version of Windows running on a computer with a 64-bit processor? |
Answer:
All currently supported versions of EndNote are 32-bit applications. EndNote when installed on x64 based systems will install by default to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNote (#)
(where # is the version of EndNote)
EndNote X3 and later
EndNote X3 and later should work properly on 64-bit Windows Vista and 7 operating systems.
EndNote X2.0.4 has been updated for x64 Compatibility
Download the X2.0.4 patch here.
EndNote X1 and earlier:
You should be able to install and run EndNote, however EndNote X1 and earlier were not designed for 64-bit environments.
Therefore, there are some major compatibility and performance issues especially when working with Microsoft Word, as described below.
Should you encounter any issues please contact Customer Technical Support using the "Contact us" link at the top of this page, but please be aware that technical support for EndNote may be limited in these environments.
When using the EndNote Cite While You Write tools in Microsoft Word on a PC running Windows XP Professional x64 edition or Vista x64 edition, you may find that there is a noticeable lag when performing certain basic functions in Windows.
For example, you may see a delay when switching between open applications or when bringing up the Start menu.
We have identified a workaround that prevents this lag.
- In Word 2002 (XP)/2003, select Tools / EndNote / Format Bibliography.
In Word 2007, go to the "Add-ins" tab and EndNote / Format Bibliography.
With EndNote X1/X2 and Word 2007, hit (ALT+3) on your keyboard to bring up the Format Bibliography screen.
- Select the "Instant Formatting" tab.
- Select the "Settings" button.
- Uncheck the two boxes labeled "Scan for temporary citations" and "Check for citation changes."
- Click OK, and then OK again.
This will prevent the lag when working with the current document. To prevent it from occurring in future documents...
- In Word 2002 (XP)/2003, select Tools / EndNote / Cite While You Write Preferences.
In Word 2007, go to the "Add-ins" tab and EndNote / Cite While You Write Preferences.
- Uncheck the two boxes labeled "Scan for temporary citations" and "Check for citation changes".
Note that this does not disable Instant Formatting or Cite While You Write. It simply alters the way Instant Formatting works so that the functions that trigger the lag issue are not invoked.
