[R] Problems with Tinn-R

[jim holtman]

A co-worker has been having problems with using Tinn-R and has posted
to their help forum and got no response.  So I am asking if anyone
else who might be using Tinn-R has seen the problems that he is
experiencing.  I am using the same version of R and Tinn-R that he is,
and I have not seen it.  I assume it must be some way that the
'clipboard' is operating dependent upon so other system configuration,
probably in Windows itself.

Here is what he is seeing:
======================================================================

"Cannot open clipboard" Error

I am using Version 1.19.4.7 and R 2.10.1 (and Windows XP).   I had no
problems for well over a year, and then I installed R 2.11.1 (I have
since uninstalled it).  I started randomly getting this error when I
would try to send highlighted text over to the R window (either by the
"Send Selection" or "Send Selection (source)" buttons).  A window with
a red X pops up in Tinn-R, with this message.  Sometimes it works for
a while without happening, and then will happen several times in a
row.   I tried uninstalling and re-installing Tinn-R to no avail.  I
compared settings with a co-worker who is having no problems, and my
settings are the same.
