Nothing that i was aware off...this is why im mighty curious heh... will report back in the morning, but im completely stumped heh. my one at home is running most uptodate version of everything... that im aware of so im guessing somthing is slightly different at work.

Same Macs with same graphics cards? Could be a feature which isn't supported by the one at work.

well i doubt it... the one at home (with the icon as it should be) is a G4 running Tiger.. 10.4.4  the mac at work is a Duel core G5 running Tiger 10.4.4  ... if anything it would make sense the otherway round... i can only imagine  there is some little update that i havn't done at work... but im 99.9% certain there isn't... oh except for the latest itunes update heh.

Mmm...I'm guessing that either:
   - only one image that was found by Spotlight
                or
   - you selected one of the photos that was found and pressed "Play Slideshow"

In both cases, you'd only see three buttons, since you're only looking at one picture.  Either select the specific photos you want to be able to view with Slideshow Mode™, or don't select any of them.  Should work, then.

Ahhh i wish it was that easy. Did a couple of tests, firstly with about 4 images, then 50, then i pulled up a few hundred but no joy - i did nothing differently when i got home tonight.

oh and nope didn't pick one photo to play in slideshow... would be very dumb of me if i had hehe :)

It's most likely a graphics problem.. I bet.
