Think Tanks does not open on new computer

I realize Thinks Tanks is well beyond the scope of "support" in the official sense... nonetheless my addiction goes beyond the rational and so I throw out my plea for help.
I just purchased new computer (a BTO 27" iMac )
I copied over all files, app's and preferences from my previous computer.
So far most everything opens up just fine, EXCEPT for Think Tanks.
It just does not respond in any way.
It is the exact duplicate from the previous machine.
Clearly something must be reset or re triggered to get it to work on the new machine.
This vaguely rings a bell, but I dont recall the fix.
Can I get some help here?
Just to be clear it is not the activation code I am missing, it does not even open up at all.
I deleted all copies/versions of the Think Tanks app on my new computer and downloaded the fresh version from garage games .
It stil doesn't open!!! (It stays on the dock with a "open" dot next to it, not responding)
I downloaded the Demo version and the same thing.
btw I re-download the TT app from Garage Games, that would not open either.
Many Thanks!

When poking around in the TT inner files I noticed specific references to my (older comps) graphic card, in:
pref.cs-
Quote:
$pref::Video::preferOpenGL = 1;
$pref::Video::profiledRenderer = "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO OpenGL Engine";
$pref::Video::profiledVendor = "ATI Technologies Inc.";
$pref::Video::profileVersion = "4";
$pref::Video::resolution = "800 600 32";
So after that I trashed all previous versions/copies of the game and tried a fresh download - still would not open up.
Are there TT preferences elsewhere in my comp that anyone is aware of?

That was my first thought, though I could not find any preferences for Think Tanks to remove.When poking around in the TT inner files I noticed specific references to my (older comps) graphic card, in:
