CoD 4 is "Preparing to launch Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare..." FOREVER!

I installed CoD 4 on steam on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit version and when I click to start the game, it says ""Preparing to launch Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare..." and it stays there FOREVER until I click "cancel."

Can anyone help!!!

Maybe we can ask for a refund to Steam and buy a DVD version instead?

found something that worked for me.
In steam, right click cod4, select properties.
I'm at work right now so I don't remember where, but you need to find the "verify game cache" button somewhere under one of the tabs.
