Cannot delete "epsxe" in registry editor

[locke1217]

I'm still having a problem with a blank screen even though I have deleted the "epsxe" folder from the registry before I reboot epsxe again.

What happens is that when I reboot epsxe it will walk me through the initial plugins/bios configurations but when I load any game it will still have a blank screen. The actual epsxe emulator will not crash but the game will never load. WHEN I LOOK AT THE REGISTRY EDITOR AGAIN IT SHOWS "epsxe" FOLDER AS IF I DIDN'T DELETE IT BEFORE, it just keeps returning. I have no idea how to fix this as every time I delete it & reboot epsxe again & configure everything, I look back at the registry editor & the folder always comes back.

Any help that leads to this problem being fixed is greatly appreciated!!

I am using epsxe 1.70 with Pete's DX6 D3D 1.77 graphics plugin, ePSXe SPU Core 1.7.0 sound plugin, ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K Core 1.7.0 Cdrom plugin. Software is Windows 7 64 bit.

Why are you deleting reg values? You can always hit "wizard guide" to start over. Also have you tried anything else, like Pete's open gl? I bet the plug in is just not compatible with your hardware.

I've already tried going through the wizard & doing every possible gpu configuration & it still gives me a blank screen.

I read in another post on emulator-zone. The member 'martycam' posted "Another really helpful youtube video taught me how to fix the black screen with no errors, you have to delete the epsxe file in your registry then reboot epsxe with the game you want to play." that this was the way to resolve the problem but it is not working for me.

The same issue is shown to be resolved in a youtube video. Type: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGCyyzNw6aA into youtube to see it 'cannot post links yet' where it shows that you need to delete the epsxe folder in the registry editor before restarting the emulator. No matter what I do the folder keeps returning unlike what is shown in the video.

I added your link for you.

Looks to me like an admin issue. Run regedit as admin.

I tried running as administrator & even going into the properties menu of regedit & changing it so that administrator & the username I am under could have full control over it. It still doesn't stop epsxe from coming back when I delete it.

Well you are existing the realm of emulation and entering the realm of tech. So you delete the value and it never really deletes? Also I assume you are not running epsxe while do this? Next step would be to delete it in safe mode.

Yes, I will delete the folder in registry without having epsxe running. I will try it in safe mode now. If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to switch psx emulators.
