Disk Utility quits unexpectedly every time on launch

Question

Disk Utility is quitting on launch. I'm also having problems with all applications crashing when I try to print.
I've repaired permissions and disk errors using the startup CD that came with the G5. I've ran the hardware test CD and passed all the tests.
I first noticed the problems with the Disk Utility application when the computer failed to mount a disk image.
I have a G5 iMac iSight running 10.4.11

"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Does it crash running from the Install Disk?
