Problem starting up steam

[kentosama]

Hello last few days I have a problem with Tomb Raider Anniversary. I had already run twice without problems, but I never really played. So I wanted to do a party for me seriously addressed, but since the game will not start and displays the following message: Problem starting up steam. I tried a lot of handling as indicated on the forum but it does not change anything. I have Windows 7 x64. I reinstall the game 3 times without success.

thank you for your help.

any idea why my store bought copy will no longer instal from the disc ?

[BRUTAL SAVAGE]

if you registered the key to steam the it should just install from your libary

do you mean "failed to find steam" ?

Try simply restarting steam, failing that, remove and reinstall steam.

this problem was fixed ages ago and do you not think one would not have simply tried to restart steam

I just got it resolved using another fix:
Copy the steam.dll from your main folder into the Tomb Raider Anniversary folder (there should be one the already, just rename it) No need to reboot.
