This is more like error and fix report that I found by experimenting but couldn't easily find an answer for so I thought I would share. I wanted to try MS word plug so I installed it on fully functional Mendeley desktop on windows 7 32-bit word 2010 professional plus but it didn't work. Error given was unable to start Mendeley desktop, try starting manually. Some of the fixes that I found on the forum but didn't work were
- enabling/disabling macros under Trust settings in MS word
- adding a rule to allow all connection in firewall (windows and comodo)
- un-installing then re-installing plug-in by deleting .dotm file in C:\Users\Fady\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
- accessing localhost:50002 from web browser, changing port to 50001 and checking access from browser
The fix for me was to NOT run mendeley as administrator. I went to properties under compatibility tab uncheck "run as administrator" and voila it not works and I see the toolbar to insert citations from my library.
Many thanks on the extremely valuable citation tool
