depends on your employer
here, any forum or website that deals with emulation, gaming, music, videos, etc... (lets say "entertaining") is blocked by the global proxy.

I have to remote control my home PC to post on pcsx2 ^^

Firewall's been blocking eh ? Well, i'm not sure why that can happen if not for certain programs of firewall.

Er... could you please try to put your words in another order ? I didn't get it

Well, if you're able to post something here, then that might mean you're not on your workplace, you're (ʎxoɹd ǝɥʇ ƃuıssɐdʎq) or the admin (ɯnɹoɟ sıɥʇ ɥʇıʍ dn ʇɥƃnɐɔ ʇ,usɐɥ). =b

Anyway, I think ikazu was just trying to point out that it might be a firewall installed in your work computer that's blocking you.

...oh, and it's reversed, just in case (pǝɹoʇıuoɯ ƃuıǝq ǝɹ,noʎ), jes... xD

I am but

I have to remote control my home PC

or the admin

I am sort of. But unfortunately not in charge of the proxy.

Good idea.
But I don't think so. After 10 years working as a system admin in that company, I think I know what I'm installing on everyone's PC (including mine)

Intel® G41 Express Chipset (?)

There's your problem; you're trying to run PCSX2 with an onboard gfx chip.
Your CPU is fine, but you still need to have a dedicated gfx card like an NVIDIA or ATI.

Intel G41 does support DX10 though; have you tried DX10 Hardware Mode?
And which GSdx did you use?
Try the SSE4 version if you haven't done so.


@jesalvein
I missed reading that part about you remoting your home PC from work. =b

[Kenpachi11]

how do i get dx10?

If i buy a gfx card like ati or nvidia is it easy to install myself?

[k1net1cs]

Go to the GSdx (plugin) setting, and choose one from the 'Renderer' option.

If you haven't tried installing a gfx card by yourself before, I suggest asking someone else with more experience to install it for you if you do buy a new one.
Wrongful installations may lead to the whole system being broken.
Personally, I'd say it's easy, but it's not recommended if you don't have some experience with it.
