[R] Need R Help

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You are probably not running a X server on your Windows machine, or if you 
are, you are not forwarding X connections.  Even then, this is likely to 
be unsatisfactory unless you have a very good X server and a fast 
connection.

Please read the help page for png, and note the See Also section which 
suggests a good solution to your dilemma.
