    Both IE and Firefox are unable to find the link you supplied.  However,
that's only because I've restarted my R session since I pasted the error
output (and it appears that each time I restart R, the URL is slightly
different).  This time, I get:

?sum
starting httpd help server ... done
Error in shell.exec(url) :
  access to 'http://127.0.0.1:31836/library/base/html/sum.html' denied

If I paste the new URL into either browser, I can read the entry without
issue.  This is what I've been doing to read help entries, but it's tedious
to copy and paste the URL into a browser every time I want to read the entry
for a particular function..

Happy to hear any other ideas!


What happens if you paste that into the "Run" box on the start menu? It looks to me as though the association between URLs and your browser is broken.

Another likely problem is antivirus software. If you can temporarily turn it off, see if that helps.
