Right click, check other options in
View content as
and
Display as

Now set it back the way you had it.
Did that help?

If not, find this file (path indicated):
HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Move that to the Desktop
Restart (this should make a new plist file in that path)
Better now?
If so, delete the plist file on the Desktop.
If not, you can put it back and overwrite the new one, but the only reason to do that would be to restore custom settings you had.

Next step; log in under a different User Account

sry for not responding, i found that i had a couple window's version of excel files in my stacks and it seemed to slow every other stack down. once i deleted them they went back to normal.
