Bingo! You rock Duncan. I had Rage3D (a video card overclocking utility)
installed on the machine that wouldn't run R and I was able to isolate
that as the problem. Once I uninstalled it, everything worked perfectly.

Thanks a million!

I should have noted in my first post that I had already tried that to no
avail.

Not a one!  Could you please try the beta build available on CRAN at

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html

Thanks!

[R] R 1.9.1 Fails to Start on WinXP SP2

2004-09-21 Thread Scott Higginbotham 
I have two computers both of which are running Windows XP SP2. R 1.9.1
runs just fine on one but not the other. Both installations of R came
from the same installation package. When I click on the desktop icon an
hourglass shows up then disappears. Similarly, if I start RGUI the
process shows up in task-manager then abruptly disappears.
Interestingly, I can access R in Excel via the D(COM) Server on both
computers.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Scott
