Dear Dr. Langfelder, Thank you for your suggestion. Indeed there were two massive files in the ".RData file" which once I removed them , the program loads effortlessly. Thanks again for the suggest.

A simple cause of a looong startup time is if you have a huge .RData file that gets loaded every time you start R. When you quit R, either do not save the session, or, if you do, make sure your session does not contain huge data. The .RData (and .Rhistory) files are saved in the current working directory. If you run R from the terminal, it will be the directory you are in when you start R. If you run GUI, the default directory varies by system. Look for large files with the name .RData in your home directory (or perhaps Documents) and if you find them, try deleting or moving them somewhere else. Make sure that your file browser displays files starting with a dot (.) which is not always the case.
