All, I've encountered the same problem as others who have posted under the same subject. I've had R-1.8.1 installed and running since it was released. Yesterday morning when I tried to start Rgui.exe I got the subject error message. Since I live at the whim of the network administrators I can only assume it was a recent MS critical update. I tried installing R-1.9.0 but no joy. I

I went to a DOS prompt and did "echo %HOMEDRIVE%" and it returned "C:". This letter is a valid

[RFC = Request for Comments] { Yes, the documentation for .Renviron is really not there (but the FAQ...); the rest is in ?Startup } In R's Startup (on Unix only??) {unless --no-environ is specified} ~/.Renviron (if there) is read as an 'sh' script before R is called, then R looks ((for the site-wide Rprofile and then)) for .Rprofile in the current directory and then for

R never gave me any serious problems until I tried to use it on Windows XP. I had 1.8.1 installed and working successfully for a few weeks.
