Skyrim won't start on PC...=(

PC Specs:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
CPU: i5-2500k Intel quad core
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 560Ti

I'm pretty sure that the problem doesn't have to do with my computer. I'm thinking maybe steam or a problem itself with the game I have no clue, but any advice?

I am having the same problem. it seemed to install fine.but for some reason it just isn't working. I hit play on steam and it says that it is setting up for first time use and installing Microsoft DirectX. the it goes to the options menu for Skyrim and I hit play. Then nothing the game doesn't start and the options menu closes.

Awesome it actually worked, I wonder why it cant be at that certain format.

Probably because Beth forgot to test 24bit sound throughly. 16bit sound is already way better then what your ears can distinguish , I'm slightly surprised ANYONE uses 24 bit sound output.
