Source SDK Problem

I've followed the steps on the wiki on setting up Obsidian Conflict with the Source SDK, but I'm running into a strange issue.
Before I state the problem, I've done the following:
• Ran HL2, EP1, and EP2 at least once.
• Ran Obsidian Conflict at least once.
• Tried resetting game configurations in Source SDK
• Deleted the Source SDK (in Steam, and manually the things that Steam left behind) and reinstalled
The problem I'm having is rather unusual as I can't seem to find anybody else with the same problem.
When I open up the Source SDK and choose The Orange Box, Obsidian Conflict shows up in the bottom drop-down like intended, but when I click on Obsidian Conflict, it jumps back to Half-Life 2: Episode Two.
I can select EP2 & Team Fortress 2, but not Portal or Obsidian Conflict. When I try to select either it jumps back to the default.
Any ideas?

It would help if you go to your game config. I'm not at my own pc but in your account/sourcesdk/bin/orangebox/bin. should be a config text file, post it here for other to inspect!

You have to change the paths in your gameconfig.txt or *.cfg or whatever it is called.
Normally what you copied in there is like "c:\valve\...\[my email]\..."
You have to make it point exactly to where your files are and change the [my email] thing to what your steam account is named.
for me, like: "e:\steam\...\iwontevertellyouthename\..."

Yep, that looks fine. Try starting Source SDK Base - Orangebox at least once.

I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS!
This happened to me.
Delete all other orange box configurations besides the obsidian one (yes I know it hurts).
Then, just then will it work.
