[R] how can I use lmer on a windows machine?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Well, as you are using a beta version of a version of R released in June 
2004, you certainly should upgrade. (Indeed the R posting guide asked you 
to do so before posting the first time.)

You should probably install R-patched from

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html

or your nearest CRAN mirror (we have no idea where you are).  You install 
that the same way you installed the current version: double clicking on 
the installer .exe should be all that is needed.
