First thing is to make sure they Volume Bars are turned on for that column. Refer to the information here:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Show Volume Bars (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns)

If the volume bars are turned on but you are not seeing them, then the next thing to check is the color of the Volume Bars and change it, if necessary to be different from the background color. Refer to the following:
Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Bid Volume Bar

And finally, it is possible that there is a very large value in the column that is forcing the rest of the numbers to essentially show a 0 volume bar. You would need move the scale to look through the rest of the data and see if this is the situation.
