I am using VMD version 1.8 (Dec 9, 2002) on a Windows XP Pro machine. I
have found that with this version I cannot save states or reload saved
states. When I use the save state pull down or type it into the command
line it saves a file on the desktop. However when I try to load this file
using the load state it says "cannot determine file type" even if the file
has a .vmd extension.

I have also gotten the error message "No molecules loaded.mol operates on
one molecule only." This error message shows up when I have 2 pdbs, but I
have also seen it in tests where I have only one molecule loaded.

These problems prevent me from ever saving my work from VMD and basically
make it a useless program. I am really getting tired of remaking all my
figures any time I need a simple color change or slight rotation. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
