[R] help pages do not open

[Dimitri Liakhovitski]

I have just installed R 12.
I have Windows 7, 64-bit verison.
I currently have IE as my default browser. The internet connection is very good.

Whenever I try to run a help command (?lm, for example), I get this error:
Error in shell.exec(url) : access to
'http://127.0.0.1:20271/library/stats/html/lm.html' denied

I first got this message when Google Chrome was my default browser.
For some reason, Google Chrome stopped opening web pages. At the same
time R11 stopped showing help pages. Then, I uninstalled Google Chrome
and defined IE as my default browser. Then, I uninstalled R11 and
installed R12 instead. But I am getting the same error.

Any advice?
