It is conventional to save R workspace with ".Rdata" extension rather than ".txt", although I don't think it actually makes a difference. > #remove temp list from workspace to test load > rm(temp) > #load list in to a new object, again called temp. > temp<-load("C:\\Users\\...\\R & Data\\rg.lmer.txt") Don't assign the return value of load to an object().

If you still have memory problems then you can start looking for another solution.
