It gets stuck on 'Preparing to launch tf2' so I tried verifying game cache but it just gets stuck at 0%. I am afraid to re-install anything or change any of the files because it took me forever to set up tf2idle software and the last thing I want to do is screw that up.

This happened this morning, after mvm was released - after the mvm patch. I've been able to fix the problem when it gets stuck at 100% simply by waiting. But 5+ hours is long enough.

Any ideas?

Make sure its uninstalled from steam first.
Then go to steamapps/your username/team fortress 2 and delete it from there.
also the GCF files.

it will completely wipe everything but re install everything new.

I also suggest saving your tf2ilde stuff before all of this so you can put it back with all its settings.
