More headache-free and reliable just to install another partition, install vista there and use it to run gsdx10 when you need it.
Trying various hackery is only going to lead to problems down the road if not at the start (which it obviously does since it refuses to run).

I think something should be cleared up here:
-All these DX10 hacks for XP do is telling applications that DX10 is installed as far as I know. This of course won't do any good.
-Vista doesn't eat up resources, it just takes resources on its own when other programs don't use them. Having RAM idle is a waste.

Vista releases cached RAM anytime it's needed. All it does is load files that fit the user's routine. If a 3d game starts, it dumps cached files to free up however much RAM is needed. It is the exact same system as XP, but more aggressive in its cache profiling when idle.
You need to get educated about Vista instead of using the disproven years old arguments that have virtually become internet relics.

You're wrong if you think that Vista is great and doesn't eat up alot of resources
