Hi there,

This does seem like a strange issue.  We have a few questions to start of with.
- What version of CAVE are you using?
- Can you open the AlertView (CAVE menu > AlertView) and then try to access the 
data
and see if it prints out any errors?
- What graphics drivers are on the machines?

Thanks.
