Hi Alessandra

 

Did you restart R? 

 

You should be able to download packages using the Packages> Install
Package(s) ... from the menu bar in the GUI.

 

Once the package has been downloaded select Packages> Load Package ...
you should see what you just downloaded in a list of available packages

Dear Pete, 

Thanks, it works now! 

I did as you suggested: 

--internet flag to the target line (right click, properties) e.g.
"C:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.1\bin\Rgui.exe" --internet2 

Strangely enough, I can now easly download packages but I still get
these messages: 

chooseCRANmirror()

Warning message: 
In open.connection(con, "r") : 
  cannot open: HTTP status was '407 Proxy Authentication Required' 

> utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10

..but eventually it does install what I want...any clue? 

Alessandra
