First, open your inpcrd file and go to the bottom and see if you actually
have a line describing the periodic conditions (lengths and angles). If
so, it's probably the way you opened it, an inpcrd file is not an AMBER
restart file, the restart file contains velocity information also. You
should open it as AMBER periodic coordinates, or something of the sort.
All those options should be right next to each other in VMD, so it's
surprising that you would have chosen the restart.
Also, I think you want to open the prmtop first, and then load the inpcrd
into that.
