PROBLEM: GS plugin failed to open/initialize
#1
i'm new to the forums. i've been working tirelessly on trying to get this program to work. i searched and saw the other thread where someone who had a similar problem, but it didn't help.

as far as i know, i've done everything that needed to be done. i've followed the guides closely and i have the plugins. i have d3dx10_40.dll in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. but when i go to run it using Gsdx SSE2, i get and error saying "GS plugin failed to open/initialize." then the program closes.

here's the skinny:

Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium 64-bit
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 2940MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 10
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7100 / NVIDIA nForce 630i

for the record, the program runs when i use ZeroGS. but its unplayable. i was thinking my computer just didn't have the muscle. but i wanted to check before i gave up hope.

i did that and it didn't seem to do anything. i updated the GSDX plug-in dll's and nothing happened either. so i guess there's nothing wrong with the plug-in itself.

Any other error shows besides "GS plugin failed to open/initialize" one? Have you tried updating the drivers for your card?
