Newbie problem running demul054

I am new to demul, just downloaded demul054-update-64.rar, extracted and put all the roms file into demul\roms folder(roms files are in zip format).

I put the vf4tunedd.zip into the roms folder as well and then run demul.exe.

First time I run, I config all plugins and then from File> Run Naomi > vf4tunedd.
After a few second, I got an error "Create pbuffer failed"!

What should I do? Help me please! :angry:

Computer specs please. If you have an integrated graphics card, you can stop right there.

Well, there you have it. You can forget about Dreamcast/Atomiswave/NAOMI/etc. emulation with that integrated Intel chip. Still, update the drivers from Intel's site - even if you do get rid of the pbuffer error the graphics would most likely be glitchy beyond repair thanks to Intel's poor track record of using outdated specs for their integrated chips.

I would like to see the day when Intel's chips actually perform up to scratch. That hasn't happened yet, and their 3100 line showed some, albeit flawed promise.
