I'm thinking that perhaps the issue is that the emulator can't find the ROMs.

The ROMs should either be placed in a folder named "ROMS" along side the .exe - note it needs to be called exactly this, or the ROMS should be placed in a different location and under "[RomDirs]" in the .ini, a line should be added stating the ROMs location. The way the latter is done is by typing "Dir1=" and then the ROMs location (without any spaces after the "=").

Hope this helps.

Are your directx & visual C++ runtimes up to date on the xp machine?
Model 2 V1.0 requires the newest ones.
You get them from Microsoft's website.
There's a redistributable package at the bottom of the webinstaller page for computers that aren't connected to the internet if your cab isn't connected.

If it doesn't work after that, notice the line in the ini file:

ForceManaged=0         ;Forces the DX driver to use Managed textures instead of Dynamic. Use it if the emulator
            ;crashes after loading or doesn't show anything

I haven't had that issue, but I think it was a problem with the video card not supporting pixel shader 2.0
If that's the case, it's either get a newer video card or use the older version of M2 emulator. 

Like I said, I never had the issue, so I'm not that familiar with it.
Do a search for it.  I know lots of people had that problem.

First of all thank you for all your help. But you know what pisses me off , it's their site they do not mention all these problems, and all the software around that you need to download.
Why can not we do a simple feature to run as MAME

[jackiabu]

I serch in the net and found that my card  ATI Radeon X300 512 mb SE supports pixel shading v3.0.
i allso update the driver for the card. but still i see the games in black an white?!! or gray??
anyway If someone could help me with this I would be happy. I can play the old version 8 but I prefer the first new V1.0

[sega_mad]

Same problem with me. Version 1.0 Black and White.

I'm just sticking with 0.9, as most of the bugs are fixed for Daytona and Sega Rally.

Sorry I can't help out...I haven't found the fix either
