Found the Fix for Metro2033 not starting up on steam! *PHYSX*
I have found the fix for Metro 2033 not starting. Here's how it goes:

- The Standards (You HAVE to do them, if you havent yet.):
1. Ensure you have Microsoft Redist. 2005 (VB REDIST) installed.
2. Ensure you have Latest DirectX (aka Microsoft DirectX Redist.).
3. For now, forget about updating your graphics drivers (will explain).
4. Also it would help if you check game file integry in steam.

If you dont know something above, google it!

- Fixing the issue: (Working for me, NVIDIA User on Windows XP Sp3 32bit)

1. You need to uninstall the current PhysX version from your computer, now before you start screaming and uninstalling your whole video driver, go to Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programms, and remove -->ONLY<-- your NVIDIA PhysX Software, nothing else.

2. Wait for it to uninstall, then when it's finnished, go to your Metro 2033 game files, and there is a folder called /install, go in there (to get to the game files, google it!!).

3. In that folder, you will see: PhysX_10.02.22_9.10.0222_SystemSoftware.exe
Double Click it, and install it.

4. When it's done, you have 2 options.

If your angry at the game developers because the game is not working, you may now go and play the game, because it will work, if your system is good enough.

Or if you like to tidy up things, you can re-download your video driver, or an updated driver (doesnt matter), and install it ( The whole driver, not the PhysX only), and then restart the computer. You will notice that the game still works, even if you have the latest drivers and it didnt work previously. And you ask why/how?

It's because the previous PhysX driver didn't have some of the files that where in the Metro 2033 PhysX installation exe, simply what we did was, uninstall the whole PhysX from your PC, then installated the old Metro 2033 PhysX Driver, and the overwrite it with the new NVIDIA drivers.

The NVIDIA didn't delete all the old PhysX files, it just overwrite SOME of the files (not all), to just improve PhysX, and not to reinstall it completly. And those files that werent overwriten where the files needed to run Metro 2033. There you go, happy playing.

Sorry if the guide was to noobish, or if there are some typeos, but I was sleepy when I wrote this. ;)

Warning: This fix may NOT work for all systems, so dont complain to me.
