Hi,
  You'll need to provide us with much more information about what
volume data you're attempting to render and how you're rendering it.
We'll need to know if you're generating the maps using the volmap plugin,
loading them from a gaussian cube file, DX file, or some other file,
and what your video driver and hardware configuration of your workstation
are. Volumetric data gets very large very quickly, so you should verify
that both your system and your video card have adequate memory for working
with volumetric data. The video card needs to have a few hundred megabytes
of memory if you plan to make use of things like the color by volume feature.
Let us know if you need further assistance.

Cheers,
  John Stone
