Please provide all the necessary files, including topologies and modified force 
field files.  I don't have time to make and double-check all of these files and 
it's better to use exactly the same files you've been trying to use.

Attachments are no longer allowed due to recent viruses and spam.  Posting files 
for download from external sites is the only way to provide files (aside from 
copying and pasting their contents, but external download is probably easiest in 
many cases).
