One IBM laptop can not run R in any situation and one FUJITSE laptop never met any error message.
I wonder whether the R development group can contact Microsoft to fix this problem. R is really powerful as compared with S+.

One logical conclusion seems that Microsoft has found that R must be a virus since it's spreading rapidly around the globe.
So with the newest security patches they prevent the virus from doing damage...
Or, maybe it's not just R, but Free Software in general which is such a threat to MS? ;-)
