RGui Startup Error on Win2000 (PR#3084)

Full_Name: Girish Zambre
Version: 1.7.0
OS: Win2000
Submission from: (NULL) (66.7.170.2)


I just started looking at and trying R.  The problem could be external to R, but
I really don't know. It reads 

'The instruction at "0x004412f0" referenced memory a "0x0095e40c". the memory
could not be "read" '

I get this after installing modules "waveslim.zip" and "tseries.zip" and
restarting.

Dear all,

this is the 2nd bug report on this within one or two days (the other one 
has #3079).
Please check
  a) whether there is really a bug and
  b) whether it has been reported before.


And again two questions:
  a) which version of *package* tseries?
  b) what way did you install it?

For me
   install.packages("tseries")
works!

I guess you downloaded a tseries version that was compiled for R<1.7.0.
The most recent Windows binary on CRAN ( != most recent tseries version) 
for R-1.7.0 should be called tseries_0.9-11.zip on 
CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.7  --- note the 1.7!!!

Joaquin and Girish, does the correct binary solve your problem?
