Authoring Tools Not Working
Naturally, I tried doing a google search for this but I have recieved exactly zero results that relate to my problem. So, any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I guess.
I pray.
For now, all we have to do is to beat our personal best times in Challenge Mode or think to 'how should I ameliorate my custom maps ?'.
great, now even portal 2 has stopped working 
It's a pity because I was in the middle of making a co-op map.
EDIT: Coming to think of it, it probably was the most recent update that Steam does automatically. Funny, Steam has been doing HEAPS of updates for Portal 2. So hopefully Valve will fix whatever error they made in their previous update in a new one. Until then, if anyone knows of a fix, saying so will REALY be appreciated.
In the meantime, back to pen&paper sketching
Well, after some poking around, I find that just before hammer.exe exits it starts looking for a dll p4lib.dll, and if I googled for that dll, I found a post about it from 2008
From there, I found you can try to run apps that have problems with p4lib.dll with the -nop4 flag.
So, until they fix it properly, this works, and run it direct from the windows start menu
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\portal 2\bin\hammer.exe -nop4
Thats for win7, for other versions, do a search for hammer.exe (make sure its the portal one and not HL2 or some other version though)

The procedure entry point ETWMouseDown could not be located in the dynamic link library tier0.dll."
Am I the only one who doesn't know what the hell this is on about?

Indeed with that method you can run hammer but it will crash when using some features (probably the ones that were updated with the DLC), like the model browser.

I had the same issue (although I don't know why), I believe if you used the "Verify integrity of game cache..." for Portal 2 (Not the Authoring Tools, or both to make it sure) it would fix the issue. (Right click at Portal 2 on the list, Local files, Verify .... )

I get this too. Windows 7 x64 bit? / Comodo internet security?
The authoring tools window is still blank ;(
(Win7/64-bit)
Made my first map today, it really sucks compared to the one's I've been downloading.
There are some changes in the game now I don't know if they were meant to be like this or just some wierd side-effects. (Like the fog as Neco said, or you that you cannot use the "ent_fire changepainttype" in game anymore normally (except for adhesion gel) because it just turns the paint gray and it won't work anymore. They removed the color of the stick paint too (the splash one, the blob texture can still be used).)
Valve do something! I can open portal and i can open the author tool, but the author tool remains blank, with no buttons to click on
It started after I did the 'validate files' thing
They seem to have totally screwed this up, and no word from them on it
Everytime I do validate now, it says there are files that need updating, even though I download them every time...
