Have you tried going to the main directory were metro is installed and launching from the metro2033.exe instead of launching through steam to see if it will launch like this or not?

Yes mate, steam/steamapps/common/metro2033/metro2033 and metro 2033 benchmark

So launching directly the game launches yes or no?

No mate don't work, I have uninstalled it, just re-installing now will post back when it has downloaded, thank you for you're help and time.

Ok I have re-installed it, now it comes up with a Black screen saying "Metro 2033 executable has stopped working"

Try restarting Steam.

Really there's no need Googling for a patch. If Steam is asking to be reinstalled, let it. To me it sounds like something happened to Steam to cause it to need to be reinstalled.

Also, there's no need looking for a game patch because Steam installs all game related patches itself with regards to Steam based games - in short, if the game is on Steam, the patch will have to come through Steam - meaning you can't install a non-steam patch to a steam game.

Bottom line, just let Steam reinstall itself.

Good luck.

Sorry i miss typed, i ment i have restarted Steam and my pc, and i have also reinstalled steam to no avail, sorry about that

Hey Sygnus21 I got the Metro2033 Benchmark/Game working. I used Phyxion Driver Sweeper has recommended by a Fellow Member of the Seven Forums, and while uninstalling the 296 driver and restarting i got a BSOD i believe because of the driver, i re-installed the 301.42 driver and ram Memtest86+ just to make sure ram was fine, and furmark, OCCT and everything came back fine on the Hardware side of things, so my next question, can a driver cause BSOD?

Yes, a driver can cause a BSOD. As for other suggestions, have a look at my guide, it gives a few things to look at.
