Yes, Thanks. Would you give me a hint on this fact that how I would be sure that I am running a correct US ? with proper settings? To save time, I' d prefer to run the US.mdp just for one window. Do you agree with me that if I run an incorrect US for any of the windows, I would get an odd result for npt_US or md_US?
Many many thanks for your time and suggestions.

What you did in terms of index group content is fine. The error message means that the file called "index_US.ndx" is not present in the working directory, or it has the wrong permissions. -Justin -- ================================================== Justin A.
