GS Plugin failed to open/initialize

[Richardpcsx2]

Hey all

Im sure your tired of reading and replying to this topic but i need help.
I downloaded and installed both PCSX2 - 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 from the website a few days ago. I was running the game FFX fine on both of them. Then i decided to try and udate my directx to directx10, even though i have Windows XP. So, after realising i had installed directx10 drivers - which is for Vista only as far as i know - i had to do a system restore to the day before. Now when i try to run any game through Either PCSX2 - 0.9.6 / 0.9.7 i have the same old message -

''An unhanded or unrecoverable exception occurred, with the message:

The GS plugin failed to open/initialize

PCSX2 will now close...etc.''

My system is :

AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.2ghz per processor
4gig RAM
9600GT Graphic Card
650 gig harddrive
DirectX 9.0c


As you can see my p.c is more than capable.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled both PCSX Systems on numerous occasions, but still no success as of yet.
I just don't understand why it works on day 1, day 2 i ***** up with the directx10 driver install, so i system restore to day 1, now it doesn't work with the original setting (because of system restore).

Please Help

dx 10 doesn't exist for winxp. Either you stick to dx9, either you upgrade to Vista/7.

Yes i know, i stated earlier that i had made the mistake of installing the drivers for direct x 10 onto my WinXP and then had to do a system restore as i was getting system errors. It was just to inform viewers of part of my situation.
