This is a bug apparently caused by Windows XP's interaction with R. I was getting an error message when running C:\Program Files\R\rw1081\bin\Rgui.exe. Odly enough, his problem was happening only when I was not connected to the network using my ethernet connection.
Using Google, I found the same error described on a thread (see attached) as: > The R installation is fine on Windows XP, but when I started to open the R > program, then it pops out this message: > > "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We > are sorry for the inconvenience....." > > The error signature is: > > AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 1.71.30616.0 ModName: r.dll > ModVer: 1.71.30616.0 Offset: 0002966e > There was a hint in that message that screen resolution might be the culprit so I checked my Display settings and changed the setting of my second (external) monitor (which was not attached) 's resolution from 32 bit to 8 bit. I have not had a problem since. Weird but it works!? P.S.: The primary display device is still set at 32 bits.
