See the FAQ (online at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html, you want question 2.24) for details on what's different from earlier Windows systems.

[R] R and Vista
Hello R users, I have been using R for a while on xp and have just updated my system to vista. Have encountered some problems... First and main problem is that i cannot make R recognize my own written functions by coping them into the Rprofile.site on the etc folder. For some reason, this very useful tool seems not to be working anymore. Could someone help?? Any other suggestion to make R start with my functions?

What does the command R.home() print in an R session on your system? Can you add /etc/Rprofile.site to the end, and read the file?

I get a very strange path on my R.home(): C:\\PROGRA~2\\R\\R-25~1.0 And the command readLines(C:\\PROGRA~2\\R\\R-25~1.0\etc\Rprofile.site) returns an Error (a syntax one, I triple checked the syntax...) Would you know what this means? The error is about the single backslashes (I used forward slashes, because that's what R uses internally), and the lack of quotes. You should try readLines(C:\\PROGRA~2\\R\\R-25~1.0/etc/Rprofile.site) However, I'm guessing based on your path that you're using R 2.5.x. I'd upgrade to 2.6.1 if you can; it has had some things fixed to deal with Vista.

Windows, in Portuguese, does a very stupid thing (not as stupid as spaces inside filenames, but a close second): it uses _accented_ characters in filenames and paths. And they are not standard. So there may be a filename conflict here.
