I downloaded BackityMac onto a Intel MacPro running OS 10.4.11, but for some reason when I launch Backitymac, it won't open.

I have tried completely uninstalling BackityMac using AppZapper, which only found the app in my applications folder, no .plist or other system files. I have repaired permissions, and verified my hard drive.

I tried the same installer on my own MacBook Pro and it works fine. the difference between the MacPro and the MacBookPro is the MacPro is running on dual Xeons with OS 10.4.11, and the MacBookPro is running a C2D with OS 10.5

All that really happens is I launch the software, the icon grows to fill and fade out of the screen, but it is not running. I have checked in terminal via TOP and via Activity Monitor and there is no sign of backitymac.app. Any ideas on how I can make this work?

iBook G4 | 1.2ghz | 768mb ram | combodrive | airport extreme
iPhone 3GS | 32 GB | Jailbreak, or no Jailbreak
