Just loaded the new emnulator, however, when running ANY game just getting a blank screen, sometime stipes of colors fast moving horizontally, sometimes get the boot message in mosaic colors.
What shall I do ?
Running Win98 (DirextX9.0b) on P3(500Mhz)+64MegRam+3D Rage Pro video card with 8Meg ram.
Tryied the emulator on an XP machine with 256Meg Ram and 64Meg video Ram and got the same.

Can't run any game on V3 of the emulator

The fast-moving horizontal stripes sounds to me like a decompressing screen. Some games are "compressed" on disk and have to decompress after they're loaded into memory, and they're usually programmed to display patterns like that while they decompress. I've even seen a C64 "demo" that spent a full 90 seconds doing that before finally coming up. I call that sloppy programming. (The demo wasn't that great, either.)
If you're using a D64 image, it's also possible that the program is loading additional data from the emulated disk. That can also take a while, since CCS64 emulates the slowness of a real Commodore disk drive, too.
