I just bought DiRT 3 Complete edition on Steam and I'm running it on an HP Envy 17 but the game will not launch!  It'll say preparing to launch DiRT 3 and then it does NOTHING.  If there is anyone who can help me please do thank you!

I'm playing my Xbone on 3 LG Curved monitors-No one ever

Please, read CoC it helps, it helped me it should help you-Every competent member

Resident bad pun maker.....please excuse them

Update GPU drivers. This sometimes help. And try running straight from the install folder. See if you get some error message (like missing dll or something).

I'm trying to locate that file, where would I find it?

Thanks guys I solved the problem actually thanks to your combined help xD  First I use Gala for steam support then Mo5 tells me about the install file and Nexxus showed me the forum.  When I tried to open via the install file it said OpenAL was missing so that's the issue!   Thanks guys!
