Ummm.. ok... Thats not exactly a valid install path, and probably why you are having trouble.

It's exactly why you are having trouble. The reason steam puts any game in the x86 folder is so that UAC can work, this way steam can update files. If its not there then steam cannot update or modify the game, and thus neither can you. Also your instal path is one that a lot of yarrr harr people take, just saying... If you had a legitimate copy why not just keep it in the original install location?

You maybe are right, thats why I´m going to re-install it

 

If you have a legal copy of the game (from any source), it is installed in the Steam folders, there is no other way to initially install the game. The problems that occur when you let Steam install in the "default" install path is that Program Files and Program Files(x86) are System Protected folders in Vista and Win 7. Install Steam to the root of your C: drive or into some other non-system folder (I recommend a separate partition/HDD).
