Some games not starting in Steam

Hi all

Does anyone know why when I try to start certain games nothing happens.
I have tried to re-install but Steam will not let use the same CD key twice

Thanks

Thanks for the replies

OS is windows 10 64bit
Running 8 gig RAM
i5 4670K
R9 390

Games are Dishonoured 1, Bioshock Infinite, Rome 2. These games all store purchased.
The other annoying problem is Company of heroes 2 Ardennes assault which I uninstalled from Steam but again cannot reinstall because of the CD key again.

Help much appreciated

Games all new and genuine unless I have changed steam account but can't remember TBH.

Cheers

Running Steam in admin does not work.

Have contacted Steam regarding old account info.

Thanks for all the replies

No the library has all my games.
All the ones I am having trouble with are around 2 years old so they may have been registered on an old account.

I have noticed that most games in the library tell you when they were last played however the games in question don't :confused:

Also older games will start so I think I have only ever had the one account

All games in the library are either install or play.

Dishonoured has the option to play but no last played date.

Double clicking from the library, selecting play from the library or using the desktop shortcut nothing happens no messages or anything almost as if the rig is dead.

Deleted local content, game gone tried to install yep you guessed it CD key linked to a different account :rolleyes:

Well team fortress 2 is available to install and that was purchased in 2008 but is linked to my current account.
So based on that I purchased TF2 on my current account changed accounts 2 years ago purchased Dishonoured on a different account and then went back to the most recent one.
Utter ******** STEAM

Sorry if you feel like putting a gun to your head

So when you go games tab and select the game on the left hand side, then click the install button / play your getting that message or are you trying to add the game key again?

Play nothing happens and if I try a re-install the CD key message comes up

I know you have had enough by now but I have noticed something else.

In my Steam library there are 23 games however only 21 are in the my games file.

Bioshock infinite and Rome 2 are classified as other games, These both have an option to click play but nothing happens.

Everything in the my games file is fine.
