Truck: Big Project / Newbie Help in Hammer Mapping

Well I have officially started on version 3 of my map entitled "wn_brickyard3". I used the ZHLT files and wrote up the wn_brickyard3.bat file and such like always and began the process. I have been on LeftThread 90% for about 15 minutes now and doesn't seem to be wanting to progress anymore (the little _ is still blinking) is this normal?

I do not have the "Clip" texture or the ability to go to properties on a brush. The only thing I get when I right click and select properties is "Visual Group" and that is all.

I copied my friends config file and I did not make a copy of the original. Is there a way to revert to old settings?

I compiled my map using that ZHLT and it worked, however, once i get into CS, I get a "Fatal Error" and it says that it can't find my texture file. Where am I supposed to put it so it will find it?

I am putting the larger map on hold for a moment and working on a map that will be killer for gun game. However, I have come to an issue that I never really thought about. Stairs are nice, but they take up too much space. How do you make a ladder?

Yeah well I am having worse luck. I was getting 100fps but the graphics of the game was terrible. I changed my settings around trying to boost the graphics (my friend sent me a copy of his config file) and my fps dropped to about 50 and it looked terrible still. I tweaked my graphics settings (in Windows) and now I can't connect to a game or if I do it shows Loss and Choke. Wtf. My friend's computer is not even remotely as good as mine (and mine is not awesome). When I don't connect it gets stuck on "IN: .42kb/s" which makes no sense because I was just downloading on bit torrent at 120 kb/s-400kb/s. Here are my specs. Maybe someone can help me too

CPU: AMD 64 X2 3800+
MB: ASUS M2N-E
RAM: 3 GB DDR2 800
VC: HIS ATI X1650Pro
AC: X-Fi Xtreme Music
HDD: 2x Seagate 500Gb SATAII
Windows XP Pro

(not too shabby I thought)

now you are going to laugh but I am connected wirelessly to a Netgear cable modem/router (no one else is on) and I have a USB 2.0 SMC EZ Connect Wireless Adapter. Is that the problem?

Ok, so I am slowly progressing in one of my buildings, trying to give it texture, but it looks so cheesy. You know, like some doofus just made it (yeah, I know, you don't have to comment on that). I tried taking digipix of textures I like and they don't look that great and all the "details" I am putting in just look more stupid. Any suggestions?

Yes, I realize that the purple half-life texture is on there, but I don't have an exterior building texture yet.
