Unable to use PCSX2, have tried seemingly everything

[aeriander]

I've been reading the forums and trying to figure out how to use this damn thing, and I have learned quite a bit. I've applied all of the knowledge I've gained into making it work, but what works for others didn't work for me. When I press RUN it just stops working completely and closes.
I've got the bug report riiight here:

Help would be awesome, I've been trying for several days and it's giving me a headache.

You have a similar build to me. I also have a 9800 GTX.

If you would like some good settings to start from, you can visit the link in my signature.

At that link you will be able to see every setting as I have applied it through easy to understand pictures of the GUI.

Make sure not to use anything above SSE3 for GSDX by the way, as your hardware indicates you cannot use SSSE3 or SSE4.1

"Detected MMX
Detected SSE
Detected SSE2
Detected SSE3
Not Detected SSSE3
Not Detected SSE4.1"

You'll probably want to turn on MTGS as your CPU is dual core.

Also use GSDX for your graphics plugin. Your graphics card and operating system are capable of taking advantage of DirectX 10.

You can also find very updated plugins at the link in my signature.

What error do you get in the "emulog.txt" file? What game are you trying to run?
Also, make sure you've updated DirectX and installed Visual C++ 2008 Sp2 redist package (both linked in the GSdx thread)

And thanks to both of you, I'll try what you suggested!

As I thought, I have all of those things and it still doesn't work. :/
Edit: Wait! I think it's working! I don't know what I did but it's working!
