In order to load dcd file you have to go through following steps:
 
load your *.psf file-->highlight it-->go File then "Load data into
molecule"-->browse your *.dcd file and load it
then if you want to watch the trajectory again-press arrow in the main
window. If this is what you do and it doesn't work, then maybe you have a
problem with the trajectory itself?

> Hi All,
> I have the latest VMD version 1.8.2 instaled on windows xp system and am
trying to load a NAMD generated dcd file. VMD does load it and shows
correct number of frames but fails to display it properly. Even if I
create a rep in graphics window and select all- it shows everything in
white and looks like only the waters are represented even then. Selecting
protein with its segname also fails to show anything. I have even tried
loading the PSF first i.e. loading it and then leaving it highlighted in
menu and then opening DCD file but no improvements. Is it a bug? or I am
missing something basic...
