Okay. I installed the newest version of R and I still cannot link to help

I don't think you've told us what output you get when you ask for help.
Here's what I see from ?mean:
First, this appears in the R console:
starting httpd help server ... done
then the browser opens, with something like this showing:
http://127.0.0.1:25567/library/base/html/mean.html
You're not getting the second part; do you get the first?
If so, here's something to try. From with R, print the value of
tools:::httpdPort:
> tools:::httpdPort
[1] 25567
You'll probably get a different number than I did. Then, with R still
open, go to IE, and enter the URL I give above (i.e.
http://127.0.0.1:25567/library/base/html/mean.html), with 25567 replaced
by whatever port number you have. Tell us what happens.
In the meantime, you can go back to the old text style help with
options(help_type="text")
You won't get links between pages or some other fancy stuff from the
HTML pages, but you should get to see something.

Thanks for the help.
