Game hangs on loading...

I've played TF2 for years now, and Day of Defeat for even longer, I found out about Fortress Forever through Anandtech's forums. I downloaded it, installed it, and when I try to run it, it appears to start, and then it hangs at the loading screen (a medic running with Loading... in the bottom right), also, it only takes up about 3/4 of my 19" screen.
I've downloaded and installed all the Source SDK apps, deleted the mp3's per the suggestions and it still does not run.
I play TF2 regularly, Crysis, etc, would like to try this, but for some reason it's hanging up. I can end hl2.exe process (it's not taking up nearly as much memory as I thought it would btw) and the loading screen disappears.

Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you run dual screens? I've found my FF won't run if i have both plugged in. It appears to hang but plays the FF music. I can still toggle console (if enabled) and type quit. Are you up to date with display drivers?

Start there n see if we can figure it out.

I am using dual monitors, so I should shut one off before playing? I also use Ultramon which is a dual monitor configuration utility. Thanks for the quick reply! Much appreciated! I really would like to give this game a shot. (yup, up to date with the video drivers)

Oh, I would prefer to NOT unplug a monitor if possible.

Try uninstalling FF first, then close Steam entirely. Install the FF package you have and once it's done, start Steam back up and see if that fixes it. I know if you download it before the Source SDK Tool is installed, it will not load properly.

You can disable your 2nd monitor by double clicking the ultramon icon in the tray. All your icons will be moved over to your main monitor, but I believe ultramon saves the locations.

Great! Glad to hear it.

Now if you experience problems with crashes and FPS (which you will). Don't worry an update is coming by the weekend. Had a test tonight for about 5 hours. everything was running perfectly and no one crashed!
