Well I don't know how to explain stuff very well but I will try my best to help you play this game.

Go to your Devil May Cry folder at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Devil May Cry 3 then right click the DMC3SE program, then click on properties, then go to the tab Compatibility, then check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and leave it on Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Also check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". Then click apply and try to run the game and see if it will work.

Well I hope this helped because I really don't know what kind of error your getting. So yeah.. Just typed this just in case it is.

I did exactly what you told me, but now I get a window that says: Application Error. Failed to Find Steam, there will be some way to fix it?

1: Right-click on "Computer" (in XP it was called "My Computer") and click on Properties.

2: in Vista / 7, on the left click on "Advanced System Settings". On XP, Google search for how to change your system path, because I can't quite remember where things were in XP.

3: In the Advanced tab, you'll see a button for "Environment Variables". Click it.

4: In the upper section of that new window, you should see something like "User Variables for [your username]". Scroll through to find the one called "PATH".

5: Highlight the entry for "PATH" and click "Edit...".

6: You'll get a too-small text box that has a field on the top for "Variable Name" and a field under it for "Variable Value". Put your cursor into the "Variable Value" field and hit the [End] key so you know you're not inserting text in the middle of another entry. If you push the right arrow key it should not scroll.

7: Add a semicolon [;] to separate your new entry from the others. This is the key to the right of the 'L' key, without pressing Shift.
Correct -> ;
Incorrect -> :

8: Paste in the path to Steam, which for me on a default-install Windows 7 64 system is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

9: Press OK, and re-launch Steam so that it gets the new environment variables. (It might work without re-launching, but hey why not.)

10: Run the game!

If you don't understand that just try restarting steam, if it still doesn't want to work if you restarted steam try restarting your computer and then try to run the game again. You probably have to keep doing that over and over just to play it.
