Thanks Esther, Now I'm at a complete loss. The app still won't open. The first time I ran the app, it said I needed to download Java run time, so I did. The installation was successful. Then the app wouldn't launch. It doesn't show up in the app switcher. When I press command tab, I hear it say stanza and when I go to force quit, its in the table saying not responding.
