SRCDS.exe will not start in ANY mode

[zachblume]

My download went perfectly. I triple checked it with the -verify_all parameter. I try to start srcds.exe by double clicking on it, through the command line, run tool; normall, with other parameters--I have tried everything. All that happens is the program runs for a split second then fails. No windows open, I have no Mods on it, I configured a server.cfg (I have tried with it blank and filled and default, etc.). Please somebody help!

My problem is similar to this guys:

first of all it will not start with just clicking srcds.exe. you have to atleast specify the game in the target. and what was the cmd line you were using to try and start the server.
