Re install it but keeo the game files.

delete every file in the steam folder except the steamapps folder and steam.exe then run steam.exe and it should fix anything wrong with it

Damn I can't give the direct link to the steam support page because the forums is saying it's a reference or something (and that I should kill myself)
But backup clientregistry.blob and delete it, or rename it.

Then try and run steam.
