My dashboard doesn't show up!

[MikeD]

Hi all

I'm kinda new to the mac in general, and so I'm hoping there is something simple I am doing wrong. In a nutshell, dashboard doesn't work.

I have tried:
1. logging in and logging out
2. restarting
3. setting a hot corner
4. changing the hotkey

None of this has worked. Basically, nothing happens when i hit F12. No widget, no overlay, no plus sign, nothing.

Is there some system setting I should be tweaking? Did I accidentally disable it? The dashboard icon is in my dock, and it does have a small indicator triangle below it...it just doesn't do anything.

Anyway?

Well their are programs such as MacPilot where by you can disable it (like I have done), I think that would be the obvious question.

Do you have any applications that changes settings of your Mac Interface or Settings beyond the usual?

Honestly, I don't know. i don't think so. But maybe I'll try macpilot to see if it thinks the dashboard is disabled.

MacPilot determined that the dashboard had somehow been disabled...but it's all good now Thanks for the tip! Still don't know what disabled it, but I'll watch out for potential causes now.

Well glad it's resolved, either way.
