[R] Update problem? Rcmdr disappears, won't re-open

[briancady413]

WinXP, R 2.10.1

I just updated R, and now have trouble. Perhaps it was the method I used to
keep all the packages.

I copied all the new packages from 2.10.1 back into the 2.10.0 folder, then
copied them and all the others I've previously added from the 2.10.0 folder
and pasted them back into 2.10.1's appropriate folder.

Is this the source of my troubles?

I am trying unsuccessfully to open RcmdrPlugin.IPSUR from within Rcmdr, via
the pulldown tools menu.
It insists I restart Rcmdr, which I let happen, then Rcmdr doesn't restart,
and then I can not restart it using R's package loading function either.

Please excuse the vast amount of text, below - I don't know what is and
isn't relevant.
