The error seems to indicate that you have some sort of broken molecule in your 
system.  What did you choose as the group into which ions were added?  If you 
chose "System" then ions may replace necessary components of the system.  The 
group to choose is whatever your solvent is.  Some basic tutorial material 
addresses such issues.
