Hi Toby,
Except that the rest of the data is not showing up 
why  do you say the data is screwed up?  

I don't know what your data should look like but the
two rows above look "okay".  

If you are having a compatability problem with the two
version of R, something you might want to try is
downloading 2.4.1 or 2.5.0 and installing it on  a USB
stick.  You can run R quite nicely from a USB and it
might indicate if it is R or a corrupt file that is
the problem.
