Why would a mac application bounce once then stop and not open?

An application may not launch for a variety of reasons. Most likely is that it is unable to find the resources that it needs. Restarting the Mac will reset everything and then the troublesome app can launch. It may be that there is some conflicting software running. The usual suspects are hacks that modify the system in some way, for example Unsanity's Application Enhancer, these should be disabled to allow the application to launch. If you have recently updated your system software, from 10.5 (Leopard) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for example, the application may need updating too. Download and install the latest version from the software author's website to ensure that everything is compatible.
