on windows 7. at one point the gui opened and i actually saw emulation in a window of an errored disk, i foolishly tried to update gtk2+ thinking it would fix things (when all i did wrong was not set the ROM...) and i can't even get the sheepshavergui to open now.

The sledge hammer method:
Restore your Windows OS to a earlier restore point before the mess was created. :)
The restore feature helped me at times when I did not exactly recall what "improvements" I had made.
As things are working again, be sure to create a restore point of your own.

Please check your environment variables for both your user and system for GTK entries and path entries.

On windows 7 you will find them at:
Computer/Properties/Advanced system settings/Environment Variables

Best,
