MacOSX - spaces - showing black screen instead of 4 desktops

[whitecrook]

Hi all

I have spaces enabled on my mac book pro OSX 10.6.4 and I usually enable it by going to the top right of my screen but when I do it I just get a black screen.

It also doesn't actually seem to be 'there' as if I click where screen 4 would be it doesn't actually change the space.

I can change by enableing the menubar or using CTRL+arrows.

Anyone got any ideas?

Check your Expose settings - has the allocation to the top right changed? For example on min it's set to show applications:

if there's no applications running then it just makes the screen go dark? What happens when you hit F8?

Strange. No it was all setup properly.

I rebooted and it's back working again now. .. Had my mac since the MBP refresh and this is the first 'issue' I've had... oh well


Also -- Just the other day I noticed the power cable can be inserted both ways and therefore have the wire running beside the comp instead of sticking out the back ..

Sounds like it was switching off the screen which is one of the options you can have for expose...
