Dear List: When trying to open 1.9.0 this morning, I have the following error: "Fatal Error: Unable to restore saved data in .Rdata" I am using Windows 2000. The program then quits. Do I need to reinstall? Harold C. Doran One Massachusetts Avenue, NW ยท Suite 700 Washington, DC 20001-1431 202.336.7075 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Try renaming (or moving or deleting) the .Rdata file. The .Rdata could be in somewhere like "c:\Program Files\R\rw1090\". It is be considered a hidden file, so you may not be able to see it. Go to Tools->Folder Options->View and select "show hidden files and folders" or use dos prompt.

Do I need to reinstall?It should be sufficient to delete the bad .Rdata file. It's normally stored in the directory that's current when R starts; if you're using Windows, you can look in the shortcut to find what the starting directory is. If you can make this error reproducible, we'd like to hear about it. Duncan Murdoch
Thank you. Locating and deleting the bad .Rdata file did the trick and I can now work in R. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Murdoch [mailto:dmurdoch at pair.com] Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 8:45 AM To: Harold Doran Cc: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [R] Fatal Error On Mon, 17 May 2004 08:30:57 -0400, "Harold Doran" <HaroldD at ccsso.org> wrote:>Dear List: > >When trying to open 1.9.0 this morning, I have the following error: > >"Fatal Error: Unable to restore saved data in .Rdata" > >I am using Windows 2000. > >The program then quits.
