Now when i change the resolution to any thing higher i.e 640x480 or even auto and i try to run a game, i'm using mamewah frontend by the way, it does the game loading, opens then shuts back to mamewah. Now if i turn off direct3d this doesn't happen BUT my games run really really slow :( Also when i do have the games running fine the sound is really choppy and crackly on most games ? Hopefully someone can help out.

Here is a link to a snap of my screen playing SF Alpha 3, let me know if you think it looks pixilated on my screen ? I have a 17" monitor by the way. If not then the only problem i really have is the sound one. If so how do i get it looking fine ?

What are your computer specs?
Also, games like SFA3 are going to look pixelated, since you are playing them on a computer monitor. Computer monitors have a higher resolution than a arcade monitor does. You can try playing around with scanlines to get the picture to look better.

If the 'blurring' is what's bothering you (doesn't look pixelated to me), you can try turning off hardware stretch. But that will remove the 'blurring' and add pixelation. :)
Not sure about your speed issues though.

Try:
hwstrech 1 (if you graphic card can use it)
full_screen_brightness 1.000000 (here probably is cause, brightness can't be 0 I think)
resolution autoI see that you have autoframeskip on I recommend you to use autoframeskip off and frameskip 0.
