pproblems with rom collection browser and epsxe

i dont know f this is the best place to put this but here goes.

im using xbmc 11.0 on windows 7. my pc has two partitions, one for os and programs, the other for media and additional programs (portable apps and things that win7 wont allow access to the program files folder)
epsxe is located D:/more program files/emulators/playstation one/epsxe.exe
the bios are located at D:/more program files/emulators/playstation one/bios/PSX - SCPH1001.BIN

ive setup all my epsxe settings, bios, plugins, controller, etc. and verified it works by launching a game from within epsxe.
ive setup and scraped everything into rom collection browser. i go to launch a game and i get a command window and the epsxe window, but the game does not start.
i go under file>launch iso... and i am greeted with an error message asking me to setup the bios.
i go under config>wizard guide... and i click "config>" and i get another error saying that the bios were not found. and they do not show up in the window as theyre did when i launched the program and did all this from within explorer.

i verified im launching the correct epsxe.exe file. i tried using the params that advanced launcher uses for epsxe ( -nogui -loadiso %ROM% ) and still no luck. using the -nogui switch just results in a blank screen until i alt+f4

HeLp!!
