GS plugin failed to open/initialize problem

[zuN]

When I try to Run CD/DVD, it states "Please update DirectX! Would you like to go to the download page?". I click "No" since I am running on Windows Vista and I have a DirectX 10 compatible video card. After that, a window pops up stating "An unhandled or unrecoverable exception occured, with the message: The GS plugin failed to open/initialize. Pcsx2 will now close. More details may be available via the emuLog.txt file."

I have tried the SSE2 and SSE3 versions of the GSdx Graphics option and Direct3D 10 and 9. Also, I've tried P.E.Op.S CDDVD and Gigahertz CDDVD Plugin 0.7.0. for the cddvdrom option. I've also tried both the Windows Installation and Binary versions and of course there is no difference. I have not been able to find a solution to this problem which is interesting since I didn't have these problems with the 0.9.5 version.

p.s. I think the problem could be that the emulator isn't detecting my DirectX.

Much help appreciated!

it states "Please update DirectX! Would you like to go to the download page?". I click "No"

uhh you clicked "no", obviously it won't work without updating directx (even if you think that you have the latest one).
so go do that then come back if anything else comes up.

I don't use vista but I don't think having in means you don't need to update your DirectX.GSdx requires to have d3dx9_40.dll for DX9 and d3dx10_40.dll for DX10 in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder(they are placed there when you install the newest DX)

yes, that's correct right there.

Ah yea that fixed it. Thanks!

btw, i can't believe how smooth this version of pcsx2 is

edit: Offtopic: 1 question, when i click ESC to save a state/choose a state to save, it closes my game and I have to restart it afterwards. Any way to stop this from happening?

[LuisR14]

just go to "run->execute" to go back to the game, or better just click F1 to save state, F2 to go to the next savestate (shift+F2 to go to previous), and F3 to load the current savestate.
