Well, if everything is right then you wouldn't have an error :)  In any case, 
you haven't provided enough tangible evidence to diagnose the issue.  If you can 
post the first few and last few lines of the .gro file (i.e. "head conf.gro" and 
"tail conf.gro"), maybe someone can spot the problem.  Also, search the VMD 
mailing list, since this error has been posted there before.
