That exact same thing is happening to me too. It seems to be intermittent. After a reboot, it might (but might not) fix itself. My older versions of R also no longer work. R1.8.1 fails with the windows message "R for Windows GUI front-end has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
This appears to have occured to me after installing the latest Microsoft Windows critical updates. I have reinstalled R1.8.1 and R1.9.0 to no avail. None of the other programs on my computer are affected, only R.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Yes. With 1.8.1 if the updates are installed R fails as you indicate. If the updates are taken off it works again. Bit of a problem here because the University IT Security runs checks on the updates and complains to users who don't have them installed.
Yep. Those updates are a problem. We have seen bluescreens (!) on machines running a directCD service on startup. So not only R is affected. I guess Microsoft will provide updates within the next few months.
