What happens if you run it from a command window?  Change to the 
R_HOME/bin directory (R_HOME is where you installed R), and run rgui.

Have you run R previously, and perhaps have an Rconsole file in your 
home directory, or the startup directory?  If that file gets messed up 
it can make R fail to start.
