Questions to answer so I can answer/resolve your problem:
1) Is this a rotary style dimmer? 2) Is it a toggle or slider type? 3) Is this on a 3-way circuit (that has 2 or more switches that can turn the lights on or off) 4) Is this on a single switch circuit? 5) Is this a brand new dimmer switch? 6) Is this an old dimmer switch? 7) Are the light bulbs in the spots regular incandesant or halogen bulbs? 8) Are the light bulbs in the spots CFL (compact flouresent lamps)?
With this information, I can tell you what the problem is:
If you answer "YES" to #1, and or #6 then the dimmer is faulty and should be replaced.
If you answer "YES" to #8, then you have the wrong dimmer for the bulb type, as CFL's require a specific dimmer type in order to dim them.
Please provide some more info and maybe we can help you figure out what's wrong.
