Good Morning Again Ronni
All has been running without problems for a week now so I am reasonably happy
the problem is solved.
Although I have a reasonable backup scheme it is a worry when something mis
behaves as where does one restore to if the computer is suspect?
In due course I may have

Hi Barry,
Did you install anything new just prior to doing the OS X 10.6.8 Combo update?
Have you tried resetting PRAM and NVRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 ?
Another suggestion,
Boot in Safe mode, run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.
Then restart normally.
Or better still: Repair
Thanks Ronni and Robert
I will try Ronni's suggestion first, it will have to be tomorrow. As the
problem seems not to happen immediately on start up it may be a while before I
can be happy it is resolved but I will keep in touch.

Good Morning Ronni

detected and repaired. Machine started up OK in normal mode and has been

Yes I did run Disk Repair a second time and no errors were reported. I then

starting in normal mode but I will do it now.

Thanks Ashley
It was my intention to run the Hardware Test if the current suggestions from
Ronni were not successful. I don't want to try the shot gun approach yet and
try too many things at once as if the problem is solved I will have no idea as
to what solved it

I hope no-one drowned in yesterday's rain.
This morning I updated to 10.6.8 using the combo update. I repaired
permissions prior to the update. The update appeared to install correctly but

Barry,
I have used the combo update to updated to MacOS 10.6.8 from MacOS 10.6.7.
Till now no apparent problems. Dock there; background OK. However, because I do
lots of colour work my background is just a boring uniform 50% grey. Hence no
suggestions except try reinstalling update.

Thanks Ray, this was going to be one of my options.
However, after a couple of restarts (one with power off for 15 minutes) with
the same problem re-occurring I started in safe mode. Interestingly in safe
mode looking at the dock (appledock) showed the option of turning hiding off,
