R devel - Apr 2006 - R, Rcmdr crash on WinXP PRO laptop (PR#8583)

Having the same behaviour with 2.2.1 and 2.2.1 patched, even if R Cmdr
is not loaded. It does not appear to be strictly a data import problem.
For me the issue appears when trying to open any scripts, although not
always. For example, last week it occurred only a couple of times (had R
running more or less 24/7), yesterday at least 10 times. The computer is
Dell D610, graphics card Ati Mobility Radeon x300, win xp pro sp2. It
appears that Rgui is still running, but its not just visible. I suspect
it is not the the antivirus or firewall (I am having symantec) because I
have not experienced the same with my HP laptop with the same
antivirus/firewall installed.

.and the same issue occurs in version 2.3.0

I think I might have a workaround now. Originally I had all the scripts
on my desktop, so I came to think about if the problem is with the
shortcuts to the other programs or to My computer or something like
that. I put all the scripts to a folder which is still on my desktop,
and I haven't experienced any crashes since. My best guess is that it is
an explorer/graphics card related issue.

I had this same issue with Rgui crashing on Windows XP Pro (probably due to
conflicting
graphics card versions) and solved the problem by disabling NVIDEA GeForce4
in Computer Management: Device Manager: Display Adapters.
