Running 10.6.8 and downloaded applications are not compatible.

Hi there! I'm running 10.6.8 and I've now downloaded two different software applications from the internet, Handbreak and the lastest verison of Turbo Tax and both of them have the big white circle with the line through it and say they are not compatable with my Mac even though the specifications say that these applications will run on 10.6.8 Intel macs which mine is. I ran software update and restarted and still no luck. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks!
