Something really wierd is happening...yesterday I tried to open dashboard with f12, but nothing happened. I clicked on the icon in the bottom and still nothing. I restarted my computer and it still doesnt work...
I know the button is functioning because I can hear that little error sound when I press it.
Anyone have any ideas?

Try opening up a terminal, and typing (it's case-sensitive, so make sure you type it right):
killAll Dock
That will restart the Dock and, in turn, Dashboard. Try pressing F12 now, and see if it works.
Good luck,

hi there,
seems i'm having the same problem. I hit f12 and nothing happens - or i go down to the dashboard icon on my dock and nothing happens.
tried killAll Dock, didn't seem to do anything, and the dashboard problem still persists.
thanks.

Have you tried deleting the Dashboard preference file, like blueleaf did?
