I'm pretty new to these parts so please bear with me. I love os x but i've got a bit of a problem.

Over the last half hour or so some strange things are going on with my dock and menus and i don't know what the problem is.

I first noticed that when i moved my mouse over the dock the magnification didn't work, even though i haven't changed any options in the dock menu in system preferences.

Also if i select an option on the menu bar and drag my mouse across it doesn't select the next option. Say if i select Safari then move across to File then Edit it will stay selected on Safari.
I have tried restarting the macbook twice and the problem is still the same, i did notice though i didn't get the usual 'dong' sound either time on startup.

I'm just a bit lost because i don't know what to try as i'm a recent switcher from windows.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me how to fix this please? :)
 
tried repairing disk permission in disk utility?

Just tried that now, as well as verifying the disk. Although it did appear to repair loads of permissions it hasn't solved the problem after a restart.
Any more ideas what it could be? :)
 
Just done a bit of searching about on the net, couldn't find much.
I found some some posts on reseting the PRAM so i tried that and problem solved. YAY everythings working hunky dory again. :D
