I have been happily using ePSXe on XP for a while. I did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit this morning and now ePSXe will not load. I have configured all my plugins in exactly the same way but it gives me the error message:

No WGL Extensions!

It then crashes. There's nothing wrong with my plugins and I have the latest version. I have tried adding it to the allow list for DEP as suggested in another post and that didn't make a difference. Any more ideas?

Here is my video config:

video driver?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what this stuff is. What's a video driver? Is it different than the video plug in? I think I have the same problem as this guy, I have windows 7 and epsxe 1.7.0. It just comes up with a black screen whenever I try to run an ISO. Also, the BIO does run, I don't know what that would mean though.

The ISO I'm running is FF VII, and I already put it in .bin format, so I don't think the problem is game compatibility. Everything I've read says that FF VII is compatible with pretty much any plug in or emulator.

Any help would be appreciated, or direction to a thread that already addressed this issue that I missed.

Ok, I got silent hill to work, but FF VII still won't work, just a black screen. Maybe I just got a bad download or something.

Thanks, I appreciate the help, I'm going to try and redownload FF VII from a different link and see if it works then. If anyone wants to waste their time and give me some advice, I'd appreciate it, ha ha.
