How can I get my Steam Game to Launch?
I just bought Sonic CD on my Steam account. Whenever I try to play it, A window opens up giving me two options: "Play Sonic CD", or "Video Setup."
If I choose "Play Sonic CD", Steam will go to a loading screen for a second or two and then just bring me back to the Steam Menu. If I choose "Video Setup", a different window comes up allowing me to change the window size for the game.
I don't know what I need to do to get the game to launch. If you know how this problem can be fixed, please tell me how I can fix it?

The usual steps i would take in the same situation is,
- Find the launch .exe for the game in its directory and make sure you run it as Admin.
- Select the video settings option and make sure that it is suitable for your PC
- Depending on which version of windows you are using, possibly run it in compatability mode for a previous version like windows 7 if you are on windows 8
- Last resort: Reinstall the game.
