Try deleting the whole valve folder then reinstalling it.

I know this is a long shot, but try downloading it and putting it in the correct directory (same directory as Steam.exe (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?steamui).

Finally a solution for my problem!
Say what you want Shasta, but this is my first post right here:
I have had steam and half-life2 working for some time under a boot camp installation on my 8 core mac pro. I only ever load it up to play games or use uTorrent.
Welll I installed peer guardian and didn't use steam for a while, so never made the connection as to why, all of a sudden steam was failing. I did a search for "unable to load library steam.dll" and this is one of the threads that came up.
Rocksta's answer about peerguardian is the only one that fixed my problem, out of all the threads I searched.
Awww, are you too banned to bitch about it?

Epic fail. Did mummy not give you pocket money this week?
And with only one post, you have a rather large chip on your shoulder - directed at someone who has been banned and not posted here for quite some time, and never communicated with you, unless of course you have made a new account just to try to revive and win an old "argument". Is that how you intend to win all of your arguments - start them with people that are long gone so they wont disagree with you?

All's I'm saying is
This is just the way I see it:
I had an annoying bug that was keeping me from running steam. I search the interwebs, and the only post that addresses my problem happens to be one that was panned for the very fact that it mentioned peerguardian, which was the very thing that was stopping my installation from running. So I felt that the attack on that guy was unnecessary because at least in one instance, the post was very helpful.
As I am not a big poster (or a big gamer for the fact that it takes up too much time from my work life) sure, i was just addressing one post as I saw it. If it's a huge faux pas to post in a thread that has helped me fix my bug, then I apologize, I won't post here any more, but the way I see it, there was 1 douchebag who panned a guy for posting information that helped me. The least I could do was say that it did such (I had been uninstalling and reinstalling steam for an hour beforehand). I bring up the ban because it seems that Shasta probably crapped on a lot of useful information to get banned.

My solution
PeerGuardian was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed it right away.
