Hi Jason, There was no dock, so no the finder doesn’t appear. Finder didn’t appear in the Force Quit dialogue box either. The problem seems to occur only when the iMac wakes from sleep (it’s just done it again). But if it restarts from “cold”, it all boots up normally. Anyway, you’re probably right, it’s time for Discwarrior (OS X Disc Utility report that startup disc is OK).
