Hi Soni,

I have never had such problems, but only some suggestions:
1) Try the PRODRG beta server
(http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/cgi-bin/prodrg_beta)
2) Try drawing your molecule (or part of it) directly with the JME
editor, included on the PRODRG website
3) Try using another input file type, e.g. MDL MOLfile

Hope it helps,
Jeroen
