Thanks All and sorry for the late reply.

It's MacOSX 10.5.6.

I  reinstalled MacOSX 10.5.6. and caret5, then tried again.
I found that:
[open data file] --> [choose xx.hdr] --> then caret5 asked me some question, like "if you would create a spec file", "what kind of file it was (functional, anatomy and so on) ".....

 on this step, if I chose the wrong answer, caret5 would crash.
I'm not disputing that it crashed here; I'm sure it did. But at the step of identifying what type of volume you were opening, there really isn't a wrong answer to this question. I often open volumes of other types (e.g., segmentations, paint, or functional volumes) as anatomical volumes, just so I can get a grayscale representation of it. The volume type mainly affects which overlay type you can access it under on the Overlay/Underlay - Volume menu.

So while it did crash here, it wasn't your "wrong answer" that caused it.

By the way, if you are the person who uploaded a volume named beta_0003.hdr on 6/14, I was able to open it in Caret with no problem, and mayo_analyze turned up nothing unusual (output attached).

I followed Donna's instruction, tried to find ".caret*" file. I typed "ls -al .caret*", but there was no file found :( ( I tried it on several directory. I asked my friend to help me, he is a software engineer and he could not find .caret*, too.)
Maybe this is because you weren't able to get Caret working long enough to generate a .caret5_preferences file. (My earlier reply was sent from home, where I could not readily identify the filename.) In any event, if it doesn't exist, then it is not the culprit.

-----------------------------------------
By the way, I installed caret5 window version too, but it could not load any "scence".
the OS was "window XP professional".
If I selected[choose spec file] -- [PALS_B12.RIGHT.DEMO.73730.spec] -- [Load Scenes] -- selected [Inflated, Lateral view (PALS-B13 RIGHT)] --[Show Selected Scene], then it crashed.. the error message was "out of memory". (I have tried to choose different spec file and different scenes, and everytime I selected "show selected Scene, it crashed.)


I have tried it on two personal computers (windows system) . One was 2G RAM (windows XP professional), and other was 5G RAM (windows 2003). The "windows task manager" showed that the memory used arose to 9xx MB then crashed. Although there was 5G RAM, It could not assign task to >1G RAM.
Wow.  You're really having lousy luck with Caret!

I wish I could think of something else to try for either platform, but I'm stumped. We have it working on both MacOSX and Windows here in the lab, and these particular triggers (loading volume, show scenese) are not familiar trouble spots.

You aren't by chance using a network drive to access the data, are you? If so, does the problem persist when accessed locally? We use network drives here all the time, but occasionally they can be a source of trouble, depending on both the drive/platform combination.

I confess I'm reaching for an idea here.  I'm out of good ones.

Thanks for these kind suggestions.

.Midoli. :-)

    Midoli,

    Which version of OS X is installed on your Mac (Apple Menu->About this
    Mac will tell you)?  We know that Caret will not run on versions prior
    to 10.4.
