Laptop NO Hammer.bat file ?

Hey guys I was given a laptop and decided to install Steam along with CSS, TF2 & HL2. I also installed SDK problem is When I get into the TF2 common folder there is no hammer.bat file. I verified the game cache to ideas ?

Also when I launch anygame the video appears sideways and sometimes don't fit the screen ?

Yeah I was going threw the commom/tf/bin. There are no .bat files at all but launching hammer from there worked. I just thought we were supposed to have .bat files now ?

Well its a couple years old at least its an HP which I don't particularly care for as I am custom built PC guy my self. I am just assuming that its the graphics card I mean its not really a gaming laptop top. I took it so I could edit maps in my spare time when I am away from home.

I also performed a dxdiag check and everything checked out.

Hey guys well I fixed the sideways display issue no I have a kink in my neck lol.

You can scratch the .bat question I have resovled that as well.

ics said:

Because the bat checks if VPROJECT is set. Without it, hammer might not work properly.

:: Confirm VPROJECT variable is set
call "%~d0%~p0check_sdk_env.bat"

I checked VPROJECT variable is there. I also did a system wide search and there is no hammer.bat. Everytime I launch Hammer it crashes after 15 to 30 secs. The RAM sucks in this laptop so I ordered more but I don't think thats the only thing contributing to this. I have also done a game cache check to no avail.

I was hoping to use this laptop during my down time to get some mapping done while away from home.

I am also seeing this in the common folder (hammer_20130615_154205_1_accessviolation.mdmp) WTH.
