Stupid issue with Windows 7 occurs when you try to run Backburner or any of it's components. The fix? DELETE THE PREFERENCE FOLDER.
User\AppData\Local\Backburner
That little evil folder has taken a good 6 hours of my life to figure out. -____-
(EDIT: 2012.JAN.19): Checking the Backburner logs, it seems like there's an issue with Backburner not being able to obtain the MAC address of the machine it's on.
"Error obtaining valid MAC address" shows up as the last line in the log, so I did a bit of browsing and found this:

As an experiment, I plugged in an ethernet cable after dumping the preference folder, and BAM everything worked. My guess is that Backburner needed a valid connection to a network while creating the preference folders. Otherwise, it just goes "Sorry homie... you're not even connected to the internet, so I won't even bother getting up in the morning."
