Hi, Michael.  I remember that some people have had this sort of 
problem.  There is a registry file in Bugs that is altered by 
R2WinBugs.  The registry file is in the directory,
c:\Program Files\WinBUGS14\System\Rsrc
See you
Andy

P.S.  I'm cc-ing the Bugs email list because others might be having 
these problems too.
