[gmx-users] mdrun on GROMACS 3.3.1

Thank you Justin for your quick reply. Unfortunately I cannot use a more modern version of GROMACS as my topology and .gro files where first created for a reverse transformation from cg   to fg and thus required the 3.3.1 version and some specific .itp files that are only present in that version. If I try to run it all with GORMACS 4.5 that it crashes immediately. 
I've also tried without the -cpo option but it doesn't change anything.
I've checked the permission on the folder and as I supposed I have total access to it so it might not effect the results. 
If I open with vi a file with the same name as the .xtc file that I need for the script and write in it some crap just to try and then I just re run the mrdun command I don't get the error message anymore but gromacs complains saying 
Reading file dynamin_dimer_PR1.tpr, VERSION 3.3.1 (single precision)
Loaded with Money

WARNING: Incomplete frame: nr 0 time 0
Segmentation fault
I have checked with gmxcheck the .trr input file as it was suggested in another discussion, and apparently it is ok, so I really don't know what to do.
Can you help me with that?
Thanks
Francesca
