The same exact thing has just happened to me, although it occured after purchasing and downloading the Brady Guide for BL2. If you make any progress, please let me/us know.

Yeah, some sort of update hit earlier today. Now neither trainer nor the editor are working.
I'm getting a freeze then a game crash to desktop with either on. Also started them after the game was up and running and it crashed.

Borderlands2.exe updated today to file version 1.0.22.32553

Had an immediate freeze with Trainer; unsure with Editor.

Try this:

When Steam first starts for BL2, there is a splash menu that has news and some options for Help, Play, and Settings. Note: this is BEFORE the Main Menu for BL2.

Click on Settings, and one of the options should be to let the game chose the optimum video settings. Chose that option and apply it. Go back to the previous menu and chose Play. This should then get you to the Main Menu for BL2.

This may have solved my freeze and crash problems (I had manually set my video options on the low side to try and prevent some of the herky-jerky motion I was experiencing). However, the recent patch interfered with my experiment; therefore, I can't be sure this is a long-term solution for me.

Looks like they just did a small update.
trainer and editor are causing a lock up of the game and crash.

Yep, it's updated to 1.0.24.33776.
