FINALLY! I got it to work...Although I feel really stupid now lol, When you close ePSXe do you have to do File>Close? or can you just hit the X? I ask because noticing my computer running slower and slower I decided to go into safe mode and do some scans...Only when I tried restarting it took about 15 minutes to restart, because i kept getting that pop-up that says end now? and it was for epsxe. I got them over and over, probably about 20 or 30 of them, so apparently everytime I closed the program it didnt close all the way, and then I would keep opening it up again. Im just not sure why they didnt show up as running anywhere on the computer even if I did CNTL ALT DEL. I have been closing it by going File>close since then and it seems to be running smoothly now, but I also did a disc clean-up and some ad-ware scans, which did take alot off, I think it was a combination of the 2 that made me run so slow...BUT my original problem was that no picture was showing up, so I did manage to get the right plug-in and have the picture play thanks to all of the help i got. sorry I didnt realize this sooner guys, but thank you soooo much for all the help that was given I REALLY appreciate it...chances are I'll be back in the forums with another noobish question sooner or later, but until then thanks for all the help!
...now I just have to buy a controller to PLAY the games lol
