it. It does come up when I turn hiding off.Have run disk utlity and
repaired permisions etc. Any suggestions?

Your question motivated my to adjust my display using the vertical size control (decreasing the amount of display on my bargain-brand 17" CRT). That worked. The dock now pops up reliably when the pointer is at the bottom of the display. I don't much care for the display's appearance now, however, so I am going to reset it back to what it was and continue using keyboard navigation to access the dock (control-F3). That works quicker, anyway. >> Stay informed about: My OS X dock won't come up.

I haven't experienced this problem, but does hitting Apple-Option-D (I think) to toggle the Dock help? You can hit it again to set the default back to what it was. -- -------------------------------------------------------- \| ^Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool^ \| \| Heath Raftery, HRSoftWorks _\\|/_ \| ______________________________________m_('.')_m_________ >> Stay informed about: My OS X dock won't come up.

If it does not happen with no other apps started, look again at the Sys Prefs to see if they look as you set them. Where have you got it set, at bottom of screen? Your OS? Your machine and monitor and card? -- dorayme >> Stay informed about: My OS X dock won't come up.

That seems to fix it when it happens to me. >> Stay informed about: My OS X dock won't come up.

open a terminal type "Killall Dock" and press enter. This should restart the dock. >> Stay informed about: My OS X dock won't come up.
