Help, Save States closes ePSXe after multiple saves

I have a bit of a problem with ePSXe and save states and I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem too. I did a search for it and didn't really find any threads that comes close to describing the problem I'm experiencing.

Anyway here's what happens, I press F1 each time I wanted to save the game into a slot. Most of the time it seems to save ok but after saving it several times in different points of the game the emulator would seem to eventually just quit itself. When I try to load the saved state it refuses to load successfully. My guess is that the last save was some how incomplete or corrupted. I've seen this happen with Final Fantasy 9, Chrono Cross, and Resident Evil 3. I haven't tried that many games on the emulator but from what I've seen I'm guessing that this problem isn't game specific.

Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Oh and I'm running this on win2k with celeron 400mhz with 128 ram and Geforce 3 Ti200. I'm also using the latest version of ePSXe (1.5.2) with Pete's OpenGL plugin (1.61) and the ePSXe sound plugin.

Thanx

I only sometimes use f1 and f3 features.The best way to make/load a savestate is by pressing esc and using run menu to do this.Always works.

Well if you're switching from an older epxse to newer version and save, then most likely, your savestate is corrupted. Maybe this is the problem. Try loading the savestate with the version of epxse you use to make it and see what happens.

I think the win2k has something to do with it too. I'm not really sure but I had alot of problems with win2k( cd, sound, graphic errors, ect..)

There are different savestate format for ePSXe 1.4.0 and 1.5.0 upwards.
There is a command line (check the help file)

That command line is required only if you are using a savestate from newer version on older one.And in his post he never pointed out a thing like that.
