GS Plugin not "initializing" on PCSX2 0.9.6

[jonXjon]

I researched why this pop-up can come up when you try to load a game...


And I figured out that for the plug in to "initialize" you need Pixel Shader 2.0 on your graphics card, but my computer (which runs Windows Vista Home Premium) has a graphics card with Pixel Shader 3.0 so how can I fix this?

We need more information, like system specs, what plugins you are actually using and any other errors you may have got loading the emulator.

Update your directx to the newest(march 2009).When you do you must have the files d3dx9_41.dll and d3dx10_41.dll into your C:\Windows\System32 directory

run pcsx2 as admin (right click->run as admin)

I already updated DirectX about a week ago. Do I need to download d3dx9_41.dll and d3dx10_41.dll

did you even try my suggestion?

Not yet, I can't get on the computer PCSX2 is on. How would it make a difference?

Because that's a classic Vista UAC conflict.

These people speak the truth, vista is a big pain in the waste management system ;p
