Okay, so right now I've been going at this for ~6 hours, I'm pretty bummed out, running on no sleep, and just in an all around bad mood, but I have to get this done.
I have a downloaded 3rd party app, which I KNOW works, as I tried it on my friends macbook pro (i3 or i5 cpu version). I have the intel core 2 duo macbook pro. So I KNOW the app works, yet when I open it, i see it bounce up and down in my dock and that's all that happens. It can keep bouncing for a long time, and as soon as I click it the app goes away on my dock.
I looked in console and said something like exit process 1 as soon as I launch the app. It doesn't even show up on my cpu processes.
It's an .app file, says application (intel) in the info.
So what have I done?
I'm out of ideas. I don't know a lot about macs, normally a pc guy, but now I'm frustrated and cranky, and if anyone could help me it would literally make me bounce with joy.
I don't think I can express the sadness I'm feeling right now lawls.
I've googled it, I've searched it on multiple forums, I feel like I've literally tried everything. Please help.

So what have I done?
- tried it in osx and lion
- formatted hard drive and reinstalled my entire OS/apps
- tried multiple different installation techniques
- went to package contents/macos/opened file and did something like sudo chmos 775 or something to it, which should have added -executable, and it still doesn't work
- did disk utility, tried to repair everything (said it did)
- almost completely given up (haha)
