Hm, could you perhaps see whether R or RGui is the culprit by trying to start R
in a Terminal ("DOS box"). If such a thing still exists in Windows
8.1, that is (I don't _do_ windows...).

I'll try that next. Love the "I don't do Windows". Do they give you a pane?

You might try starting Rterm or Rgui with the option --vanilla. If this starts the you have a corrupted .Rdata file or there is a problem with something in your environment. Have a look at appendix B of an introduction to R and you may be able to work out what is wrong. Check that some part of your current R system is not using something from an earlier version. While this should not happen I did manage something like it some time ago. I don't recall the exact problem but it can happen. @Peter There still are terminal programs in Windows 8.1. I use an interface Conemu64 which is an interface to the windows console. I was working with gcc sometime ago and have recently discovered that many unix shell commands now work in conemu64. This rather proves your point.
