Hay I'm new (just made an account) and am having problems installing Skyrim or lunching I guess.

I bought Skyrim from Steam (not on disc) downloaded it and clicked install then want and browsed the Internet well it installed. Then came back and saw it was done so I clicked play and this menu came up witch I can not post a simple screen shot of because this forum is useless. But it was basically the game luncher (I think) with Install at the top Options, Data grayed out and Tech support, Exit on the bottom.

So I clicked install a window cam up saying (Preparing to lunch The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) then the same window as before comes up again . This happens every time I click play I tried deleting and redownloading, I tried verifying integrity of game cache (it said all files verified successfully) I also tried restarting Steam and restarting my computer. So needles to say I'm not having any luck getting it working. Also I looked in the SteamApps/common/skyrim and Skyrim is installed on my computer ie I found the exe, data, folder Ect. Pleas help .

PS. wth dose the Bethesda Forum have against inbox.com? it wont let me use my inbox account for my Emil.
