Out of memory issue

If you really do have a data file called batcalls.rda, then the proper  
way to get it into memory is with:

load("C:/Rainey//batcalls.rda")  # replace path with the actual path  
on your system and remember not to use "\"'s
Because of the error ... nothing got done.
You cannot do anything on something that isn't there
OK, that appears to have run without error, so it fits into memory.  
Now you should run:
str(d)   # and report the results
You seem to be ignoring all the informative error message.
WinXP in its default state can only use around 2.5GB and that may  
require upping the memory limits:

And read the material in the links from that page as well.
