Hi, I tried to lauch R2.8.1 version on Windows platform after closing down one session but now i get this message in an Information Dialogue Box: "Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData". When i click on OK in the dialogue box, R shuts down and wouldn?t let me do anything. I later downloaded R-2.11.1 (the latest version), installed it and i get the same message when i run the new version. Could i get some help, please. Sheikh
Hi Sheikh, The error suggests that the file .RData file may be corrupted. Unless you have data saved in it that you need, try deleting that file and then see if R will start properly. Maybe it is just me, but it seems like problems with the .RData file are happening frequently enough to possibly warrant an entry in the FAQ.

Renaming the .RData file will suffice and is less extreme...I should have said that in the first place.

Hi Another possibility could be that .RData was saved when some packages were used and are not installed in this R version (I often percieve it when I migrate among different computers). If the complete error message suggests it you can install that package and you may open your .RData again without problems.
