R-3.0.0 prints an error message at startup. I uninstalled a previous version and installed this on Windows 8. Uninstall of previous version deleted all previously installed packages and I forgot to keep a list of them. How do I correct this error?

That is not the message from R 3.0.0 (it says 'cached'). So you are not telling us the whole story, and we cannot help until you do. If you have not already, try starting R with --vanilla. If that works, the issue is a saved workspace file (a .RData file) that needs to be moved out of the way. -- Brian D.
