I have already posted asking for help but got no real response-

I try to launch an app but all it does is bounce once and then stops, no error message, nothing

I have a paper due on monday I NEED A ANSWER SOON
 
It seems the most popular recommendations would be to Restart you Mac, if that doesn't works, Repair Permissions.

If is only an specific app, try re-installing it.
 
Once the app stops bouncing does it appear with a black triangle below it in the dock?

Could it be open but has fallen off the screen? I ask 'cause this used to happen to me sometimes for no reason in MS Windows, never seen it in OSX.
