Hi Mark, I do not have any XP or 32 bit systems lying around to try out anymore, but I have R 2.13.1 running just fine on two Win 7 x64 systems. Have you tried downloading it again and reinstalling? My antivirus has an unwelcomed predilection to remove R.dll which causes havoc unless I set a manual exception for it. Have you checked to verify nothing else is interfering with the install/uninstall?
