Crappy video card perhaps?

Update your graphics card drivers, update DirectX (9.0c is out now).

umm reinstall hammer if it continues to say problems and then closes it cause its either now corrupted or well u no what im going to say

so check ur graphics card spec then check computer needs where u downloaded hammer from should say what u need!!!

no my video card is a radeon 9600 which is good....hmmmm...still confused...perhaps I will try to update my drivers + see that new Direct X...thanx for your help guys I really appreciate it

Post the problem it experiences.

ok....here is what happens when I try to open a RMF. file...

make sure u have the uptodate drivers for ur gfx notice u got an ati summit or the other, had problems a while ago both with steam and hammer a back up and a format fixed it.

ok.....lemme go look more.....but seriously everyone thankyou for your help it is greatly appreciated!

YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL!!! I am so happy thankyou all really I can FINNALLY map again! Thank you sao much for all your help!

Also, for future reference, to remove that stupid invasive error-reporting 'function' (remove the first 'n'):

1. Control Panel
2. System
3. 'Advanced' tab
4. 'Error Reporting' button at the bottom

ok..thanx
