Hello to everyone!

I am a newcomer in this field and the use of APBS. I am trying to produce
an electrostatic potential map for a protein surface and I am using
Windows XP. Although I have installed succesfully Pymol v0.99, APBS v0.4.0
and the M.Lerner's plug-in,following Lerner's instructions, I can load my
pdb file, I can generate the .pqr and .in files, but the programme doesn't
generate the .dx file resulting to the message:

ObjectMapLoadDxFile-Error:Unable to load file!

Is there any incopatibility or lack of commands or scripts that elude me?
I tried the VMD v1.8.5 and v1.8.4 to visualize the electrostatic potential
following the instructions from the tutorial, but the procedure is stopped
at the same stage... Cannot load the .dx file because it doesn't exist..

I searched the APBS,Pymol and VMD forums but I couldn't find a solution.
Please Help me!
