anyways I built a new machine, was too cheap to buy an copy of xp pro off ebay and just installed a copy of windows 7 beta on it since it'll last till august.
Im having issues with the DirectX engine as windows 7 has install DirectX 11 and playground
I changed the GSdx settings to DirectX10 hoping it would work but I get an error saying
"Please update DirectX!", saying no brings up "Error opening GS Plugin"
I think I read somewhere to do something with the registry, but Im not sure what I am looking for and I don't want to alter something that I shouldn't

EDIT:Running Playground 1.0.0395

Not only does PG work just fine in windows 7. But i can confirm it is a speed boost, no doubt about it. Going from xp to windows 7 is seeing 10-15 fps gains in some games

i never thought it was possible.. since winows 7 is using a different version of DX... hmmm... what kind of DX does it use in your rig?? does it recognize it as DX9? or DX10?

pcsx2 is highly-not ready for Win7
in addition GSdx can stay up to DX9 for XP,DX10 for vista.
best to rollback to WinXP for the momment.

i played a few hours of god of war and shadow of the colossus in windows7. not one problem and runs better (=more fps) during the graphical intense parts because of dx10. my other os is xp 32bit.
