It's called "Startup". Next to the Tools tab on the msconfig menu,
or anywhere else (depending on your language) in alphabetical order from left to right.

You haven't replied yet if you
set the Steam interface language to English

could you try that?

And make sure the Global 3D settings in the nVidia control panel are at default, and not to override any ingame options.

:inv: Hmm... your game is stuck before actual first time run. You had connected two monitors, now only one? Maybe it is connected to the secondary output? Try the other output on the card. :inv:

Maybe you have a codecs problem. Could you try:
download and install Bink Player.
Try to play the game's fmv's (in the game's directory > Media folder). If that was susccessful, again try the game.
