Dear Sarah,

Thanks for your email. I'll describe the problm but without the screenshots
then.


Firstly, I think I’ve correctly installed R.

I have installed R for Windows via the R site, CRAN and then UK –
University of Bristol or UK – Imperial College London. Both times, I have
installed the ‘base’ version. I installed the 64-bit version, which I’m
running (I’ve got Office 2010).



When installed, R appears to be same (in terms of the menus and layout) as
the screenshots shown as part of youtube R installation tutorials - except
for the following (error?) message, which I have exactly copied and
pasted below. This message is displayed in the R Console box and I cannot
close this box or open a new script:



R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) -- "Trick or Treat"

Copyright (C) 2012 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing

ISBN 3-900051-07-0

Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)



R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

You are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions.

Type 'license()' or 'licence()' for distribution details.



  Natural language support but running in an English locale



R is a collaborative project with many contributors.

Type 'contributors()' for more information and

'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications.



Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or

'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.

Type 'q()' to quit R.





This ‘Trick or Treat’ message also appears (in the Console box) when I
downloaded RStudio.



Any tips or guidance on resolving this problem would be really appreciated!



Many thanks,



Andy Siddaway
