Error message suggests you are trying to predict a probability of 112.5% with your model, but it's hard to say why exactly you're getting this message without a reproducible example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example Note also that this is a pretty different question than how this thread started, so follow up should begin a new thread.
