maxim,

please note that both, mol load and animate read
are deprecated commands and that you should use
mol new and mol addfile instead.

you should be able to load this as type parm7 if it is
in fact a correctly formatted amber 7 (and later) parmtop
file. can amber handle the very same file correctly?
are you certain that the file did not get corrupted somehow?

can you load it from the GUI?

if not, you'd have to make the file available for testing
(e.g. by uploading it to the VMD Public BioCoRE project's
BioFS area) so that somebody can have a closer look.

cheers,
