I downloaded R onto my computer using Windows XP The program itself works fine, but my problem occurs when I type help.start() and enter the search engine. Whenever I type anything into it, nothing happens. I've tried reinstalling it a few times, but the same thing keeps happening. I've done the full installation, with all the boxes checked. Thanks for your help

See the rw-FAQ, which explains this (as you have already been told privately). The problem is in your browser configuration, not in R. You need Java and Javascript installed and enabled.

What browser are you using? Have you modified the security settings? The search engine uses Javascript; if you have disabled that, it won't work. Duncan Murdoch
