Hi everyone,
I use R to plot my data set (x,y) in Windows XP, but keep getting error
message like follows,

Error in windows() : unable to start device devWindows
How can I solve this problem? Thanks for any suggestion or help.
Somehow you appear to have set options("device") to "devWindows". If you set
it to "windows" using options(device="windows"), things should be fine.
I don't think so. windows() is a family of devices, and that is what they
report if GADeviceDriver fails. That would seem to mean that either
allocation fails (unlikely) or GA_Open fails (which AFAICS only fails if
newwindow does).
We don't have the 'at a minimum' details requested in the posting guide,
and this might be something to do with the locale. I'd suggest starting R
in an English locale if that is not already the case (add LC_ALL=en to the
target of the shortcut used to start R -- see the rw-FAQ).
