    When trying to launch

    When I try to launch either COD or DWT they appear on my desk top but when I go click either one to start I just get a spinning wheel. I cannot get them off my desk top nor do they appear in the task manager. If I launch another program the COD & DWT still appear in front of what ever program I wait to use. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the computer. Any help or thoughts before I contact Steam support.

    Thanks

    Maybe check that your antivirus program isn't flagging them?

    Just an idea... Maybe it hasn't finish downloading yet and I think steam will make you wait while it downloads before letting it start.
    Try running a "verify integrity of the game files" from steam and check your downloads to see if it finished.

    Where would I find "verify integrity of the game files" ? I look at my steam account and could not find. Also my in my games list is COD. CODB, but no DWT.
    I also check the size of the files on my computer: Total Cliffs properties is 14.80 GB
    Tobruk is 4.63 GB
    BOB is 5.90 GB
    BTW I did delete the old COD from my Documents folder as well as from my Program Files (x86).

    Thanks for your help, I do hope to be up and flying DWT.

    Did you buy DWT? You'll have to activate the code in steam.

    Regarding the verify files, right click on Blitz in steam library, go to properties, then local files.
