It may very well have been an error in the PATH variable. But, I simply deleted the R_HOME variable and also deleted it from the PATH variable. Then I made a new one with the exact same values as before (but it worked this time).
R_HOME = C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1 path = ...;%R_HOME%\bin\i386;... R is now recognized as a command. Thank you all very much.
