endnote slows down my computer dramatically-solution

every time I run Microsoft Word with endnote, windows starts to slow down a lot. Individual applications still run ok, but it's stuff like switching between windows, or opening start menu, etc. that lags like crazy.

this is due to the compatibility of endnote to x64 system, here is a link to Endnote patch to fix this problem

How to transfer office 2007 user customized ribbon

it had taken me more than years to figure out how to transfer the customized tool bars. I was(am still) a white mouse for microsoft for its windows 7 beta. I got an dell's workstation and its so bad. I had installed more than 10 times and every time I had to recustomize the ribbon. There is no way to transfer the old office settings to the new installed system--this time google sucks too. I am saying dell's computer sucks because myself built computer never has problem with windows 7.
Microsoft's "settings and file transfer" not work for me. On the other hand, that tool even transferred none existing settings, I mean supporting for hardware like bluetooth from old system to the new system.

Anyway, here is the simplest way to transfer ribbon, go to C:\Users\your account name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\, copy all files with extension ".qat", for example, word.qat, which is for word setting.

I am still working on the micros, hopefully I can figure it out soon
