Dear Sarah, Thanks for your email. I'll describe the problm but without the screenshots then.
Firstly, I think Ive correctly installed R. I have installed R for Windows via the R site, CRAN and then UK University of Bristol or UK Imperial College London. Both times, I have installed the base version. I installed the 64-bit version, which Im running (Ive got Office 2010). When installed, R appears to be same (in terms of the menus and layout) as the screenshots shown as part of youtube R installation tutorials - except for the following (error?) message, which I have exactly copied and pasted below. This message is displayed in the R Console box and I cannot close this box or open a new script: R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) -- "Trick or Treat" Copyright (C) 2012 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Natural language support but running in an English locale R is a collaborative project with many contributors. Type 'contributors()' for more information and 'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications. Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or 'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help. Type 'q()' to quit R. This Trick or Treat message also appears (in the Console box) when I downloaded RStudio. Any tips or guidance on resolving this problem would be really appreciated!
