Unable to Run Monkey Island
I just downloaded Tales of Monkey Island from Steam after noticing that all 5 chapters were on sale. I got real excited, I haven't played these yet, all my friends and several reviewers swore by them, and I was looking forward to them. But for some reason after downloading and installing, the game simply wont run. I've tried different ways of startup and yet nothing, not a blip. I'm running a windows 8 I seriously hope that's not the issue. Any advice?

I'd like to note that it appears to be working now, im not sure what changed, but its working.
Ok i was wrong it worked for a little over an hour, then i logged off, now it wont start up again. I can't do what I did before because I did nothing that i can recall to make it work. I get no error messages, it wont start up when i try to launch it again a notification from steam pops up saying its already running. I check my active programs and apps from my task manager and nothing affiliated with the game or company name appears. Can i please get some help understanding this?
Please post your dxdiag info.
dxdiag
Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.
Windows 8: At the start screen, type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Now click on the button that says "save all information".
It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it, and upload it to an instant filehoster and post the download link.
