Hi, all: I'm using R 1.7.0 on WinXP under SDI mode. However, very often after I closed all R windows, my CPU usage was still 100%. By checking the task manager, I found there are one or several "Rgui.exe" still running and took all the CPU. I had to close them one by one manually. This happened to me with R 1.6.1, R 1.6.2 also and also on Win2K. Rememeber there was a "memory leakage" problem with the early release of 1.6.2. Is this what I'm exprencing here? Or this is due to I'm runing R under SDI mode, b/c my colleague hasn't found the problem with his R 1.7.0 or other versions which are runing under MDI mode. Help............ ...Tao
Memory leakage?

I always use Rgui in SDI mode (under XP) and it always shuts down completely for me. There was only one release of R 1.6.2. This not what is meant by `memory leakage': that is when an application allocates memory and does not free it: it goes away when the application is exit-ed. I believe the problem is with your own computer (or how you use it, including other software you may have installed): have you tried re-installing Windows?
