The "-O" is not an atom type, it indicates an oxygen atom of a previous residue. 
  It is still not clear what it is you're doing or what the actual problem is. 
If you want a resolution, you'll have to do as Mark asked and post your command 
line and the actual error message.  Remember, you're asking for free help - you 
have to make it easy for us to help you.
