CSS Problem/bug

Hey guys I have a quick question for you all,
My CS:S was working fine, than last night i tried playing it. It launches and I hear the intro sound, but the actual game isn't up. It goes back to my desktop. Than when I try to reopen it, it goes right back to the desktop. I tried restarting my PC, uninstalling/re-installing, verifying local game cache, and nothing.
Can anyone help me?

-Thanks!

 

have you ran it as administrator? Also if that doesn't work try opening it inside safe mode too see what happens. Also when you uninstalled steam did you make sure your steam folders got deleted out of your C drive as well because when you uninstall sometimes it doesn't get rid of your actual files.

Also are you getting the "preparing to launch css" then it launches and you hear the sound and then nothing happens? If I am understanding correctly. If so then yes it sounds like there's something wrong inside your steam folder as i've had this issue once before.
