HLDJ won't load in CS:S, help!

Hi everyone, I'm kinda a noob at HLDJ. I've been using it for 3 days now, but earlier for some reason; it just won't load anymore :|.

Here's the diagnostics:
1) Does HLDJ launch the game correctly for you?
Yes.

2) Does "HLDJ Loaded Successfully" appear in console on starting the game (with no errors)?
No.

3) What is the console output after selecting a song, or issuing other HLDJ commands such as "hldj_next"?
"Unknown command"

4) After loading one of the sample audio files, perform a search of your Steam directory (without stopping HLDJ) for the file "voice_input.wav" - does it show up, and if so, where?
I can't load any file.

5) Does voice normally work for you? If not, or you do not have a mic, have you remembered to set up any applicable options in your OS and/or the game?
Yes, voice works normally for me. I have a mic, I didn't set any applicable options in OS or game.

Additional info:
OS: Win 7 32 bit.

Please help me on this. I've been searching around forums, trying to solve it myself and I simply can't. It's making me dizzy. :(

If you have multiple Steam accounts, make sure you are starting the game for your account.
After staring HLDJ, search your steam folder for "hldj_init.cfg". Where does it show up? Verify its location is one you expected (i.e. under the game's "cfg" directory); if not, check that the game directory is correct.
if the "hldj_" configs are indeed in the correct place but the game just doesn't load them, then you may need to re-install the game or verify integrity of its files.

Yeah I started the game for my account. It's under the game's cfg directory.

When I load up the game it says "unknown command: auto.cfg" is that a part of hldj?

No, but if that's a failed attempt to "exec autoexec.cfg" (which it is necessary for HLDJ), then it's a sign you need to do the last thing I mentioned.
