MacBook Pro Dock Problem

I am trying to put applications on my dock, however, the option to "Keep in Dock" is not there. What can I do to keep my applications in my dock? This problem started very recently, but I don't know what to do and I would appreciate the help. Thanks!

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:


killall Dock


Log out/in and test. If that doesnt work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.


Then try a dock reset.


Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command


killall Dock


Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.


If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
