   There is no need to have ; at the end of lines in R.

   Could you please post the output of sessionInfo(), as asked in the 
posting guide. Then try just

  Tucson_Array

  and let us know what happens.

   And finally, let me suggest that you try the arrayQualityMetrics 
package instead of using affyQCReport. The report it generates is a bit 
more comprehensive, but currently only in HTML (I think that will change 
soon).

   best wishes
    Robert
