I was playing some Chrono Trigger on version 1.52 after reading of 1.51's lack of support for diagonal movement... the update saved me from wasting $30 on another controller, but Saturday I try to open my minimized Snes9x window and there's no display. I heard the overworld theme, but then just made a save state and tried to google my problem.
Apparently, people have had Direct3D fail on them and either have no display or 9x wouldn't start up at all! I seem to have a unique problem, because I used 3d with 1.51 and it worked fine. I don't get why it would randomly fail....
Direct3d randomly stops working, DirectDraw laggy

Was Windows Update running in the background? If WU installs new GFX card drivers, then you'll need to reboot before D3D/DD apps will work again.

I turned auto updates off and I manually install my new drivers.
I have XP, running on 512 MB of RAM (!!!) with an NVidia 7300 LE. Decent card... should I get new drivers?
ROM info:
Name: CHRONO TRIGGER
Speed: 31/FastROM
ROM Map: HiROM
Type: 02
Kart contents: ROM+RAM+BAT
Header ROM Size: 32Mbits
Calculated ROM Size: 32 Mbits
SRAM size: 64Kbits (64Kbit)
Actual Checksum: 788C
Header Checksum: 788C
Header Checksum Compliment: 8773
Output: NTSC 60Hz
CRC32: 2D206BF7
Licensee: Unknown Company
ROM Version: 1.0
Region: USA/Canada
Now D3D works, but Snes9X will not recognize any keystroke or buttons on my controller, so I cannot navigate at all within the game.

Hmmm, I would visit nvidia's website and get the latest drivers for your GFX card.
