Dashboard in Leopard is locked up

[Rockin' Kat]

Hi,

So first off, I've tried flat out rebooting to fix this but it doesn't change anything.

I thought I'd find some game widgets to install in dashboard on my PowerMacG5 and things were going well until it stopped letting me click within widgets. I can open and close widgets that's it. I but I can not click in them... It just beeps at me evertime a click. No calculator, no hiting the info 'i'. I can't even scroll the "manage widgets" widget or click the red delete button next to widgets I've installed.

Any idea what it would take to fix this?

well... I tried another google search for resetting the dashboard ...

I tried opening terminal and entering

killall Dock

and it seems to have fixed the problem when rebooting outright didn't do anything... :-/

and I spoke too soon.... now a couple of the games still beep instead of letting me interact with them. Also the "manage widgets" widget still wont work either.

Edit: killing the Dock again I think I've tied it to an Asteroids clone and a Frogger clone which appear to screw things up when they're played. :-/
