    Hi cow people,

    Can anyone help with my dock problem.

    It wont show it’s self anymore. I can turn off “Auotmatically hide and show dock” and it seems to function ok. But if i have that option selected it wont reveal, when i roll over the active area, it flashes the names of the applications but no dock.

    I’m running 10.3.9 with all updates, on a single 1.8 G5.

    Thanks inadvance!

    Yeah, I’ve seen this on my system. Sometimes I get the names of applications stuck out on the desktop, left behind after the Dock retracts. Usually a restart was all it took to get things back to normal. You didn’t indicate you’d tried that.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    Apparently I need to trash this file Home/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.playlist, and then restart.

    INteresting. I’ve just lost my dock animations but there’s no such file on my system.
    I’m still looking.
