Ivailo, Thanks for the information. I will try these things out and contact R-help.
I did not give a lot of information, because I admittedly do not have a lot of information. But, after reading your comments I realized that I the following information would have been useful. 1) I have been using R on my computer for a long time without this issue. 2) I believe the version of R that I am using is the current version. I will try out the actions that you suggested. Thanks for the help.
