it's important to make sure that your prmtop and trajectory file match. if
the prmtop has box info in it (defined in leap) then it needs to be in the
trajectory as well.
it's hard to help at this point because we don't know enough about what you
did in the simulations. were they in explicit water or in the gas phase? how
did you set up the original prmtop?
