if you don't own episode 2 you need to change the launch shortcut with -engine ep1 http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Using_the_Source_SDK_with_Episode_1-Engine_Games

uhh sorry but i have a new problem. When i load Hammer and create a new map I get the 4 black windows but none of them have grids on them. The top left has camera (which is black ) and all the other ones are completely black with no blue grid lines. I am referencing this http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/images/4/4f/Hammer_emptyworkspace.jpg. Also I haven't changed the color lines and I have used CODradient so i do have a little bit of mapping knowledge.

top of your screen, button on the far left, click it and there should be grids.

from the menu select View > Center camera There may be two options. choose the one for the grid area. I am assuming the problem is that your camera is out of bounds on start. This happens to me too.
