I successfully ran all the commands until the equilibration stage. the 'grompp -f nvt.mdp -c em.gro -p topol.top -n index.ndx -o nvt.tpr' command was successful, but when I tried to run mdrun, it gave this fatal error: 2 particles communicated to PME node 4 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension x. I repeated several times, but still the error posed up.

The tutorial system should not crash; it is very robust. You either have 
something wrong in the coordinates or the topology.  Check your work carefully - 
visualize the minimized coordinates, verify that the energy converged nicely, 
check grompp for any warnings that suggest you've put something out of order in 
the topology, etc.
