R help - Oct 2008 - Error: cannot allocate vector of size 117.3 Mb

Dear R users,
 
I am using RandomForest package. While using this package, i got 
"Error: cannot allocate vector of size 117.3 Mb"
.........................message.
I had this problem earlier too but could not manage. Is there any way to solve
this problem or to increase vector size ? My data set is of 163 samples and 5546
variables.
I tried through "? Memory" function to solve this problem, still could
not manage. I am hopeful to get solution from this R-help forum.
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards,
Ram Kumar Basnet.

So what did you do exactly? What kind of data are your variables? 
Factors (how many levels), numerical values? And what are the parameters 
of your hardware?
