does not start painkiller black edition on windows 7

[forestwalrus]

double-clicking on a shortcut takes a few seconds, then the Steam window pops out with the words "an error occurred while updating painkiller BE (the application is already running)": 6224 (other numbers are also found). what to do? Reset failed.

Same problem. It doesn`t even show in Task Manager yet Steam sais it`s running. Restarting Steam doesn`t work either. The only option is to Hard Reset my pc or uninstall the game. Is this a joke?
