F1 2012 F1 2012 Not launching

F1 2012 The Game (Codemasters)
I've got the F1 2012 through Ebay and after installation
the game wasn't launching
If i pressed Play through Steam a message appears "Preparing to launch F1 2012"
Then after that Nothing Happens
If i Try to start it through F1 2012.exe in the folder i was getting this message
"The application was unable to start correctly(0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
What should i do now
I've got the same problem with Demo also
My rig has worked fine on F1 2011 and 10 but 12 was not even launching
My O.S was Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
Me and My bro really want to play the game if it was not working my 1000/- Rs was wasted
Help me how to fix this please

The DirectX can be found in:
Pragram FIles (x86) / Steam / steamapps / common / f1 2012 / support / DirectX

I'm not totally sure where the .NET framework is located though. Im trying to find it.

If quizzes are quizzical then what are tests?

Do you have a modded database in use?

Although in saying that I have a DX10 card system as a second PC, and the game doesn't run on that either....no matter what I did.
 
The game should work on Windows 7,right now i am with Windows 8 64 bit,and the only game that actually doesnt work at it is Borderlands 2 without "special fix".
Try intallling this if you dont have it.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Also validate the game through steam,if there is any error steam will take care.
And also try installing the latest nvidia driver.
For the record,before i switched over 8,
The demo and 2012 worked fine on Windows7 SP1 64bit
Also Bram,
I guess he bought it from there because the actual price is something like 15 euros/1000rs compared to retail price 72 bgn/36 Euros.

Thanx for the suggestion guys i was thinking of formatting My os and then checking out
As a Fresh one i guess every thing will be resetted
And Yeah For me buying it on steam means it 40 or More $ and each dollar means 56 rupees of our Currency
So i waited until the ebay of India Launches it
