Loss of Corners and 'Alt-Tab' between apps

[soundtechchick]

All of a sudden none of my "Corners" are working. I checked the settings and nothing seemed to be changed. I re-set them just in case but still no luck. I then realized that I cannot do the Alt-Tab shortcut to flip through my open applications either. Seems like they might be related, but I don't know. I was wondering if maybe an update caused this or something? I'm not quite sure what to do or where to look. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Well first of all, did you download an update? Because if you didn't then it won't have been due to an update.

Have you tried a restart? If yes, try logging in as another user and see if it works there

Well not last night or anything, but I'm sure I have with autoupdate. I thought maybe it could have been a common widespread problem if it was due to a recent update. I don't recall my latest updates, but I know I've had some in the past few weeks.

I just shut it down last night and was going to fiddle more when I get home from work. I will give it a shot. Thanks!

If I am not mistaken each of these is tied to the Dock (Exposé, command-tab, Dashboard). Go to Activity Monitor and try restarting the Dock (click Dock in the list, then click Quit PRocess in the toolbar). This happens to me on occasion and restarting the Dock usually does the trick.

Ditto. This happens to me occasionally. I always have a Terminal open (via Visor), so I do a "killall Dock" in Terminal to fix this.

As far as the Alt-Tab, try relaunching Finder. That generally clears up that sort of behavior.

I had a very similar problem and after a ton of troubleshooting determined that the source of the problem was Logitech Control Center. Do you have it installed?

Happens to me once in a while, a restart always fixes the issue, FWIW it happens after playing The Sims 2, not all the time but once in a while. Corners dont work... never tried the alt-tab though.
