Hi Cien,

Are you trying to open a particle file or a plot file?  Unfortunately particle files aren't supported yet.

If it is a plotfile, it's possible yt is having trouble parsing the runtime parameters for your dataset.  If you'd like to share your dataset with me, I'd be happy to try to figure out what's going wrong.

Best,
Nathan Goldbaum
