Hi,
  I don't know what kind of file your ".cnt10" file is, but I'm fairly
certain VMD does not contain a plugin that can read it. VMD does have a
plugin for reading XYZ files. If you get an error when you try to load
the XYZ file, it may be in a format that the VMD XYZ plugin doesn't
understand. The XYZ format that VMD understands looks more or less like
this:
7
test.xyz 0.0000000
  N 65.19100 22.03700 48.57600
  C 66.43400 22.83800 48.37700
  C 66.14800 24.07500 47.53400
  O 65.32700 24.91600 47.90200
  C 67.50300 21.98100 47.70200
  N 66.83700 24.17600 46.40100
  C 66.66900 25.29600 45.48300
