Steam_api.dll file missing?

[Cha0ticSeraph76]

Bought Fallout New Vegas and now all of my steam games say the Steeam_api.dll file is missing try reinstalling to fix this.

Download the current steam installer from here -> http://store.steampowered.com/about/

Run it and select repair instead of install

[Cha0ticSeraph76]

It still shows the message. Is there any way to download the file?

[Kiya]

Have you tried verifying integrity of the game cache? To do that, in the steam client, right click on the name of the game in the list, select properties from the dropdown list that appears, go to the Local Files tab and select 'Verify integrity of game cache'

That should download any missing or corrupted files

New problem steam will not connect. It says to run steam i must first connect to the internet, but obviously i am.

what anti virus do you have installed? Check the Steam support page about Programs which can interfere with Steam

None of my Anti-Virus programs will inerfere with it.

When i click on the Steam app it says updating steam doesnt update and then produces the error message saying i need to connect to the internet.
