Answer 1

i suggest you register on the steam forums ( http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/fo... )

make a thread in the section i gave you and you will have more chances of getting a real result or solution to your problems

get your dxdiag ( here a tutorial to know how to get the so called dxdiag file http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/106... )

and post it joined to your post on the steam forums

if you have to wait during the process i would suggest you update your video drivers and sound drivers

Answer 2

I'd say something got corrupted (which is typical in windows). The bottom line is that if you're using windows to play it, you're probably going to have to reinstall it. Thankfully steam makes it easy to do that.
