Download issues

[cperry]

Hi
- Have a mac with OSX and had a power failure. Since that I cannot download programs. Get a "mounting failed" error and a "no child processes" when I try and launch a dmg. My firefox got corrupted so I discovered this when I tried to re - download. Then I tried a few more programs just as a test and the same thing happened. Sounds like this is not a program issue but something with my computer (which was off when the power failed, but still had an issue it sounds like). Any thoughts?

Try this;

Delete the file called /System/Library/Extension.kextcache
Delete the folder called /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
Restart the computer.

Removing those files and restarting did not resolve the problem.....still same error messages about mounting failed, etc.
Any other thoughts?
