You start CS on steam and then? I do not quite get what than happens.
#CS doesn't load
bold panther
slate dock
the game just doesn't open

What does happen after you clicked the play button on steam
slate dock
it turns blue and says stop

So you press the play button on steam and after that your screen goes blue?
slate dock
the play button turns blue and says "stop"

Well, that does the button for me too.
But the game is at the same time opening in another window. Can it be that steam is always in the foreground for you? Did you search for another window?
and just to be sure, you own the game on steam and the game is installed on the PC you are trying to start it?
