I recently gotten Crayon Physics Deluxe on Steam and had zero problems till I got tired of manually entering my website log in for the game so I clicked the save my information and when I exited the game I found that I could not get it to start again, I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it five times already, I tried having Steam verify the local cache and it keeps saying 1 file failed to be validated and redownloads it, yet it still doesn't work and if you have it reverify sure enough it will say that 1 files failed, yada, yada, yada, while it would be nice to know what file it is but sadly it doesn't tell you.

So anyone have a clue what is wrong and what I can do to have this resolved?

I have not installed the game through Steam but removing the working folder in your user's Application Data folder you can start with a fresh install. Just try and remove this folder that contains your profile data:
%APPDATA%\Crayon Physics Deluxe\

Well that didn't work, but thanks for the attempt it was appreciated.

Also if it helps I took a look at the log file today(didn't even know there was one) and this is what it said:

Edit: Nevermind I reinstalled Direct X 9.0c and that seemed to worked but I ended up having to apply the D3D fix since I ended up with missing graphics for some odd reason.
