By auxillary files, I refer to log or graph files produced by your do file. Based on my experience, you are most likely to have these files open wile trying to overwrite them in your do file. With the very limited information you provided, it's pretty hard to give you much help without watching you actually doing it.

Thanks for the answer.
Actually no log file is on. So what kind of auxiliary files?
