what version of the plugin are you using? what are your machine specs? if your cpu is an AMD one, are you using the SSE2 variation only?
bits of the post sounded to me like a suspiciously specific denial but, oh, well... not like I care
(woot I finally logged in here after a year or two xD)

CPU: intel T4200 @ 2.0 ghz

"GS plugin failed to open/initialize"
Most of the times means that your video card don't support Pixel Shader 2 or you don't have the newest directx(and I don't meant dx 9,10,11 or 9c but dx from which month)

Yes, I think his DirectX could be outdated. Please use the
updater and try again.
Small recommendation: Use the
latest beta and the
latest plugins. You will get less issues and more speed with them
.
Rejoice, they say. Color is back.

Try using the Direct3d9 (Software) renderer in GSdx.

Using direct3d9 (hardware) is recommended than using software rendered. Most of ATI RADEON GPU (not HD) would work in direct3d9 (software) and NVidia GPU works well in direct3d9 (hardware)

NVIDIA GT540M
