Hi Karen, I presume you're running this on a Mac? What version of the OS are you running, and have you adjusted the security settings to allow unsigned applications to run? Mauve 2.3.1 was released before OS X became stingy about requiring apps to be cryptographically signed. You might try the current Mauve 2.4.0 snapshot, which is signed, and solves some other issues too: http://darlinglab.org/mauve/snapshots/2015/2015-02-25/MacOS/Mauve-snapshot_2015-02-25.dmg
Also, the Mauve website has migrated here: http://darlinglab.org/mauve/ but google search results haven't really registered this change yet and we're still in the process of setting up a redirect from the previous site, which has been in administrative limbo since a server failure late last year.
