I'm guessing you might need to update to a newer version of DirectX. I think you'll need at least version 6.0. Try that out and see what happens.

Have you read this Thread Here ?

Make sure you are using the latest Jnes (Link Can Be found In that Thread)
Make sure you select JoyPad (if Using Keyboard Or JoyPad)
Make Sure You Select Your Device In Additional Devices (If Using JoyPad)

Hope This helps

jnes lists the devices in the drop down combo box -- make sure it's selected

if you hit the small little config button for each item .. and your gamepad just isnt responding, go into control panel and try it there -- if it works there then i have no idea

That Damn Good
Look in the main jnes thread and click on jnes 0.5.2 and download the newest version of jnes, or you could try other emulators which you can get from www.zophar.net , but jnes plays most games and is imo the best nes emulator out.

edit: I forgot to ask what kind of control do you have, because it might be a controller problem.

It should look something like this. If not, you may not have added it in the control panel. If it's a USB Gravis Gamepad Pro, it's added automatically, if it's a gameport one, you have to add it manually.

Not sure about the 10 minute crashes, but you can save your state frenquently so you don't have to restart if the emu crashes.

Jabo?

Not a clue, it doesnt seem that he is familiar with computers that well as most people know the game controller config in control panel etc. Awesome guide btw.

I should point out there is a "How-to give feedback" section, maybe I'll change that title a little
