Hello again, It seems I did damage my system -- I re-insalled R and installed it again but I get the following msg when exiting R. Application error: The instructions at "0x005691da" referenced memory at "0x0000118" The memory could not be written. Any help on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated! TIA Marwan
