dock menu gone
After installing some software, I have lost my dock menu. I am unable to pull it up by running my pointer over it, changing the hiding option on the apple icon menu, or modifying dock preferences. Mac OS X version 10.6.8

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

Ok, I created a new admin user account and now have the dock menu. However I am unable to access any folders/files I created under old user account. Please advise.
Boot into your normal account and try a Dock reset.
Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t 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.
