As the title says: it doesn`t work anymore.
Any suggestions?

Strange - the Screensaver came on - and now Expose is back to normal.

Do you have a Logitech mouse (Logitech driver installed) and a G5 by any chance?

I have a Logitech MX 700 but "only" a PB G4.
I think it has to do something with this watch screensaver.

Do you use fast user switching?

I have seen a case where a G5 using a Logitech mouse+driver and fast user switching, Expose sometimes 'stops' for the non-admin accounts in fast user switching. If you click the mouse a few times (if you have say the 3rd button for show all windows), it will work again.

On a PB with Logitech mouse+driver, I have seen sometimes (rarely) that you could be working away and mouse clicks would stop responding, touch the trackpad and click, then the mouse works again.

Hrm...

No - I�m the only user.
Like I said: the problem occured after I used Backlight and the 3D watch screensaver.

I've had this problem w/fast user switching activated. Only a reboot cures it. I thought it was related to Konfabulator, but can't consistently reproduce the problem.

To anyone with the Expose failure:
When you mouse over a Menu item, does it highlight automatically in anticipation of your click (as it should), or do you have to actually click to get a Menu item to highlight? For me it's the latter and this problem always comes in tandem with Expose not working.

I tried BackLight with 3DWatch and didn't like the combination. I've ditched BackLight but kept 3DWatch. Fine screensaver.

Here's another quote from Thomas J. Watson:
