Game won't open

Hi there.

So I previously had this game, and was able to play it on a different laptop, and to my knowledge my husband was able to play it on this laptop. Unfortunately, though, I am unable to run it on this laptop now. And I have no idea why.

Every time I try to play the game, it says it's opening, running, then it just stops. It doesn't say I'm in the game via task manager, and I can immediately open a different game without it telling me I can't have more than one game up. I have tried other methods to get the game to open; I uninstalled and reinstalled, both the game and even steam. Neither of those options worked. I also tried to download SMAPI, however it will not run as I cannot even open Stardew Valley to get it to run the first time setup, which it seemingly requires. I don't understand why it isn't working, and I really want to continue to play the game!!

 

See nothing happens when you launch the game in the troubleshooting guide for some common fixes.
