Reinstall it. Most people prefer to install it using an account with administrator privileges, but don't run the install using the "Run As Administrator" option, and don't re-run the install if windows suggests doing that. Install libraries locally (%HOMEPATH%\R\win-library\2.13 should be the default in this configuration). If you need to update base libraries you will need to run RGui as administrator (right-click to get the popup menu with this option), but you should update all other libraries first without the run as administrator option. (This makes getting a new version of R configured quicker too, since you can copy the old installed per user libraries to the new directory and run update.libraries () at the R prompt.)

I have a faculty member who installed R 2.13.0 on a windows 7 (x32)
machine. When they run it, it always requests an administrator
password and the icon has the shield on it that indicates it needs to
run in Admin mode. I went back to my student computer lab and it has
2.12.0 and it runs fine without running as admin. I then downloaded
2.12.2 on to their system and it runs fine without needing Admin
privs. What has changed in 2.13.0 to always need admin to run. Is
this a bug? I looked around for some settings to allow this version
to run as non-admin, but couldn't find anything. Anyone have
suggestions to get 2.13.0 working on win7 x32?

Thanks.
