So check the box that says "Don't run game after compile" (Or something like that)?
Then just manually start the game?!

There are certain things you need in each map before it compiles and plays properly. For starters, make sure you have some kind of light and a player start and a skybox.
hehe- my first map had no skybox at all- u could see the "void" from everywhere 
and it worked just fine. but still leaks are not pleasant- a lot of things can go wrong in u have them. to play a map u only need info_player_deathmatch entity (if u are working on a HL2: Deathmatch map). make sure that u have the (map name).bsp file in your hl2:dm/maps folder (i thing this was fixed in one of the patches but things can still go wrong)
