Step 1: Choose a drive to scan. Once you've installed and opened the software, select the drive where the data to recover was located. Step 2: Select the files to recover/restore. Now all you have to do is select the folder or folders you want to recover/restore and click on 'Recover'. Press Windows + I to open Settings and follow Update & Security Troubleshoot. On Troubleshoot window, under Find and fix other problems, click Blue Screen Run the troubleshooter. (See Image 10) Image 10: Run the BSOD Troubleshooter. Follow the instructions given on the screen. Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to bring up Run. Here, type in “tpm.msc” and press the OK button. Click on “Action” from the top menu, then choose the “Prepare the TPM” option. Click the “Restart” button and follow the on-screen instructions. When complete, check if Windows Hello works. Keep EndNote libraries on your computer's local hard drive. Storing and editing libraries on a network drive can lead to corruption and performance issues. EndNote libraries should never be stored in cloud-syncing folders such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SugarSync, etc. Syncing folders corrupt EndNote libraries over time.
To create a compressed EndNote Desktop library:
1. Open your EndNote Desktop library.
2. Go to File >Compress/ed Library (.enlx). Leave the options as they are: Create, With File Attachments, All References in Library.
Endnote Corrupt Installation Detected
3. Press Next, specify where you would like to save the file (should be the same location as your .enl file and .data folder), and press Save.
4. You have now created a new compressed EndNote Library (.enlx).
How do you use your compressed EndNote Desktop library (.enlx)?
If your regular EndNote library file (.enl) ever becomes corrupt (e.g. not opening, references are missing, not working properly with MS Word or Pages):
Corrupt Installation Detected Endnotes
1. Ensure your corrupt .enl file is closed. Open your compressed EndNote library (.enlx).
2. This will then ask you to create a new EndNote library file (.enl) , which will contain all the references and attachments (e.g. PDFs) from your compressed file (.enlx) .
3. When asked to save this new .enl file, leave the filename as is (do NOT change it), and save the file in the SAME location as your corrupt .enl file. Do NOT create another instance of the .enl file. Instead, REPLACE the corrupt .enl file with the new .enl file.
Important tips:
- You should create a new compressed EndNote Desktop library at the end of each usage session. For example, if you work on your EndNote library each day, create a new compressed EndNote Desktop library when you have finished working at the end of the day. This will ensure you will always have a current compressed EndNote Desktop library.
- Each time you create a new compressed EndNote Desktop library, REPLACE the older compressed.enlx file with the newly compressed.enlx file. You should have only ONE compressed EndNote Desktop library (.enlx) to avoid confusion as to which is the latest one.
- Back-up your three files (.enl, .data, .enlx) together in the same place: on the local hard drive (C:) of your own personal computer or laptop, on the desktop or within your student/staff H: drive of your RMIT computer or laptop, and you can even send it to your e-mail address as an attachment (please see the 'Email your EndNote Library using CloudStor' box below). This will ensure you will still have access to a functional EndNote Desktop library if your original library becomes corrupt or damaged.
- Do NOT save or back-up your EndNote Desktop library to an online cloud environment, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or iCloud. This can eventually corrupt or damage your library.
- Do NOT use EndNote Online as a form of back-up for your EndNote Desktop library. If your EndNote Desktop library is corrupt or damaged, this will cause your back-up library in EndNote Online to be, too.
- EndNote Online, however, is great for other purposes. It is a web-based cloud tool that requires no software installation and which can be accessed from anywhere with internet access. When you sync both your libraries within EndNote Desktop and EndNote Online, all references - including their groups and attachments - in both libraries are merged. After the sync completes, you will have exactly the same libraries in both EndNote Online and EndNote Desktop. This enables you to access your EndNote library from anywhere. You will not be limited to the computer you normally use to access your EndNote library. Syncing should be done regularly to ensure that both libraries are always identical and current. Please see RMIT | EndNote Online - EndNote Sync and Melbourne University | EndNote - Sync for more information on syncing.
Symptoms:
When you try to run the NoteWorthy Composer setup program, a 'Corrupt Installation Detected' message is displayed.
Diagnosis:
This message is usually caused by one of the following:
A quirk in the setup program might be causing this problem. If you are running the setup program from a folder that includes embedded spaces or unicode characters, this message might be displayed. When you run the setup program, try running it from a local hard drive, from a directory path such as 'C:TEMP'.
When installing on Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, you must be logged into the computer as an Administrator with full install privileges.
Your system's configuration for temporary files should point to a valid, existing folder. You must have full read/write privileges to this folder.
If you downloaded the setup program from the Internet, it might have been corrupted during the transfer process to your computer, or by a virus running on the computer. The remedy is to scan for viruses, clear your browser cache, and then try the download again.
Our setup programs contain a digital signature. If you do not see a valid NoteWorthy Software signature associated with the program, then this is a strong indication that your download was corrupted in transit.
