Dear Zeinab,

This sounds like an OS based error. Perhaps windows is to blame. Try one or
both of these and hopefully it might work.

1) when starting VMD .. Right click and run as administrator.

2) vmd is by default installed in Windows drive. Which is mostly drive C.
Either install it to a different drive or like suggested when CD-ing use a
location in a non-windows drive.

Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Best,
/A
