Help: disk utility no run; .dmg no mount
Today two things started happening: .dmg files will not mount and disk utility will not launch.
I tried running a backup copy of disk utility from a firewire drive and it also would not launch. I then ran it from a start-up DVD and it ran fine with no problems reported and nothing needing to be fixed.
I restarted from my regular system disk and the error is still there.
Console reports nothing when Disk Utility launches but does show the error "helperConnectionDied" for DiskImageMounter[385] when something tries to access a .dmg
Any help or suggestions on what to try would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Updated to 10.3.3. Update went fine. Disk Util still won't launch and still cannot mount .dmg

Is this happening in midst of an install?
Also what does the crash log say for Disk-Utility?

if you are trying from the Panther install disc and it won't run, you've got serious troubles.
Yeah I would say so.
If I log in as a non-admin user, everything works fine.
Ideas?
