I am running a Windows Vista laptop with DirectX 9 & 10 both supported and properly downloaded. Right now PCSX 0.9.6 will only run with ZeroGS and Gsdx DirectX 9, which goes to speeds of about 40% FPS. When I try to run Gsdx with DirectX 10, it says "GS plugin failed to open/initialize" and closes PCSX2. DirectX 10 would use my graphics card instead of my processor to run the graphics and run the emulator faster than with DirectX 9. How would I go about doing this?

Update your drivers, update your directx.
What GSdx version is it?

I am currently using GSdx 890 (MSVC 15.00, SSE2) 0.1.14, and I don't think my DirectX can get any more updated.

Recently, I believe. Does it matter? I have all the necessary dll files in my System32 folder.
EDIT:
Alright, I just updated my graphics drivers and when I ran the latest DirectX install package it said that I had the latest one. When I tried PCSX2 again the problem still persisted.

Try getting the latest beta and see if you have any better luck with the GSdx included there.

I had heard some of the mobility HD 2xxx cards do not support DX10 correctly, but not having one I cant be sure really...

When I ran that version, Gsdx didn't even give DirectX 10 as an option.

You need atleast Service Pack 1 on Vista for DX10 to be an option.

dx10 is supported by your gpu(according to AMD). Do a huge clean up and get rid of everything then re-install the new beta 1888. Troll around this forum and look for the SDK directx download. Anoying I know, but micro$oft has the answers for your dx10 woes I think. Please keep us updated on your results....
