Eh, well, I don't know in Windows, but I've got a strong feeling that's
not really your problem. :-)

You see, if you don't have anything loaded that's called x, you need to
load it from disk. And if x is something that you have loaded, then it
seldom makes sense to run it through data.frame(x).

I think what you need is read.table()
For example:
x <- read.table("The-file-where-I-ve-got-my-data.dat")

Though I may have misunderstood completely your problem... :-)

Best,
