Recently have been using R1.7.1 on a new laptop computer.  System and software
worked fine for at least two weeks.  Now the entire OS slows down to the point
where one would think it had frozen.  I feel there must be a compatibility issue
between R and XP Home (including auto updates / service packs) as these are the
only items I have changed recently.  Has anyone else had any similar problems
lately?
