Just a shot in the dark, I don't know if this will help or not...
Do you have the Flash Player installed? Not sure about Mac OS 10.6, but it shows up in system preferences in OS 10.8.
Anyway, you can download it from here:

It may be that quick start is using Flash, and can't find the Flash plug-in to run the app.
Or not, but give it a try.
