Steam_api.dll

[taKer]

I can't launch skyrim from steam and when i try to launch it directly from the folder it says "THe program can't start because steam_api.dll is missing from your computer."

I replaced the steam_api.dll and it still doesn't work, it is in the folder, I've also reinstalled the program and nothingg happened.

I have 59 hours on the game this just happened randomly when I went to restart the game and I have no idea what I should do now.

The only people that google has turned up having this problem are pirates and they use cracks to fix it.
