[R] Problems by saving Rprofile.site under vista
You may have to run R as Administrator (right-click, choose run as administrator) to make these kinds of changes. After you have things the way you like them, run R in the usual way by clicking on the icon. Charles Annis, P.E.

Hi Charles, I?ve already been running it as an administrator this is why I don?t understand it.

Hello, I found a solution to the problem, quite easy. The R paste was on read-only, so I went to the properties/security. Apparently he considers me as a user and not an administrator when I open the files so I just gave the users ( me) the authorization to modificate and it worked. anna_l wrote:> > Hi Charles, I?ve already been running it as an administrator this is why I > don?t understand it. > > > Charles Annis, P.E. wrote: >> >> You may have to run R as Administrator (right-click, choose run as >> administrator) to make these kinds of changes.
