All: Recently my R session freezes when I try to open a file or save a new script after I have run existing scripts. The session freezes so that I can no longer click on any windows within the R session -- including other scripts that are open or the R console. (I hear the "ding" sound when I try to click on anything.) I have looked at the Task Manager on the computer and R is still running (and is still responsive according to the Task Manager), but I cannot do anything within R. I have tried pressing Esc and that does not help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am using a 32 bit Windows 7 computer with 4gb ram and 250gb hard drive. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
I have sometimes seen symptoms like that when an open file dialog gets hidden behind another window. R is waiting for the dialog to complete, but since it is hidden, it never does. Generally it pops up eventually; I'm not sure why it is allowed to be hidden at all. Duncan Murdoch
