I am guessing that you saved the files with the "save" function.
If so, try this:
:lisp (load "C:/my-path/my-file.sav")
which should print a more informative error message.
Probably you will have to post one of the .sav files in question,
and the error message you get when you try :lisp (load ...).
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
