This is a Tcl error that may be caused by your timezone not being set, at least from a perusal of google of the errors that crop up from ConvertLocalToUTC. Have you been messing with your system clock? See http://tcl.2662.n7.nabble.com/tcl-Bugs-1995175-clock-scan-problems-on-windows-td27789.html among other google results, but this isn't an issue with VMD per se, but something having to do with Tcl configuration.

I did MD for a complex consisting of mTOR and a 200 residue protein in solvent and NaCl ions for 10 ns.
Hope you can help. Thank you.
