Trouble opening Finder window from Dock link

Hi everyone,

i have a Finder problem, when I click on the Finder icon in the dock no Finder window opens. I have to go to the Finder menu and select "Open New Finder Window". I've gone through the Finder Preferences and it's specified that when I open Finder i will do it in my directory. But I reboot my Mac Pro and Finder is supposedly open in Desktop bu without an open window. Same thing happens if I try to restart Finder.
Anybody has an idea of what could be going wrong?
BTW, it's OS X 10.6.8

Thanks in advance!

Have a Finder window open on another desktop?

Try a right click on the Finder icon and select 'Show all windows'.
Close any open windows and see if that works.

Click to expand...

If so, won't it go to that desktop?

In my Stone Age OS, it goes to a different Space if a Finder window is open there.

Should, but does not always do what it is suppose to.

I have another Monitor but it was turned off. I turned on and the it worked. Then I turned back off and it still works.
I guess it's just a desktop problem.

Thank you all ! ! !

Have seen a couple of reports about this, if you leave the Finder window on the 2nd monitor when it is turned off. Next time, just remember to use that 'Show all windows' - that should get it started again without having to turn on the other monitor.
