Steam game startup problem

I purchased World at War and whenever I try to start it up it puts a little black box in the top left corner, it then disappears, I attempt to click on the tab that has waw and it goes black and doesn't show the game then goes back to my desktop. I uninstalled and reinstalled and that did nothing. I took a recommendation of removing utorrent from my computer, that did nothing. They said to change my sound settings, that did absolutely nothing, restarted my computer after installing.

Any recommendations? I am aware that the majority of you guys probably don't know about this subject but I would rather get some of your opinions before I either contact steam or go onto more of a steam oriented forum and make this post.
 
is this on a laptop or computer? this happened to me when i tried to game on my laptop but then i plugged in a slightly bigger monitor and it works

on my gaming desktop with a 1920x1080 monitor. I have been told it could be due to my monitor but I don't think that is it.
