First off I should mention that I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.

Whenever I try to open Source SDK it shows the launching window and then it goes away and nothing happens (it doesn't run). I've verified the integrity, defragged the cache files, reinstalling, and even tried running it in Windows XP sp2 compatibility mode. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

I didn't see you say that you've tried one of the most common attempts at fixing a program: Reinstalling.

Oops, forgot to mention that I already did that and it didn't work.

D'oh.

The only time I've had that happen to me was when I got the 'Failed to establish Steam master pipe connection lock' error when compiling maps (I then quit and relaunched the SDK, which never came back) but I fixed it by restarting Steam (which probably isn't applicable in your case since you did a reinstall).
Try this: rename the 'sourcesdk' folder (inside steamapps/<youraccountname>) to something else, then try to launch the SDK. (unless you did a full reinstall, without preserving anything at all...)

Thanks, it worked! If I could send you a cookie and a gold star I would.
