    Does this happen every time your Mac wakes from Sleep? You may want to try Restarting your Mac. Or...

    Select "Go" from the Menu Bar in Finder, choose "Go to Folder" [or press Shift-Command-G] and type "/System/Library/CoreServices/" (without the quotation marks) then click the Go button. Finally, Double-click Dock.app.

    Or you can try a few commands in Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/). Copy/Paste each of the following into Terminal and press Return after each:

    Code: 
    killall Finder
    Code: 
    killall Dock

    They will kill specific processes. And actually "killall Finder" probably won't help you with Dock.app.
