Dear Ana When you installed R it gave you an option to put a shortcut on the desktop. If you did that then you can start the R GUI by clicking on it. You may need to customise it for your preferences. Specifically it starts R with an option cd-user-docs which I delete and I then alter the starting option to start in the directory I want. You may have different preferences of course. Try Rgui as Ivan suggests and report back what happened. You may have to ask your local IT support as if this is something the Complutense is setting up it is surprising that all your collegues are free of problems. Have you asked around?
