lattice is shipped with R. You don't need to install it separately
unless you want a more recent version in which case you simply can use
update.packages().

So you had lattice loaded once you decided to update. This does not work
under Windows as you have certainly already read in the R for Windows FAQs.
Start R without loading lattice and then update the package.

Yes: reading the manuals and the posting guide (which also asks you to
use a sensible subject line).
I assume this is R under Windows, and I hope a recent copy such as
"R-2.2.1".
