Dolphin not showing up at all?

02-18-2012, 03:15 PM #1

Hello, I'm new to this emulation thing, and was wondering why Dolphin isn't opening up for me. I double click Dolphin.exe, and my computer tells me its loading, but then it just sits there. I know the program has started, because I check Windows Task Manager>Processes, and it shows dolphin.exe as an active process, but not in the task window. Any reason why this may be?

I've tried what they suggested in that, and it did not work. I've even tried deleting and reinstalling Dolphin, but it didn't help either. Dunno if it helps or not, but I'm running Windows 7 and was able to play it no less than an hour prior to the occurrence. The only thing that changed was an update. Would that have made it change?

Try reverting the update and rebooting the system

I've tried that, still didn't work Sad

I installed it on a second PC (32bit OS) and it seems to be working now.

As strange as it may seem, I didn't reboot or anything, I just left for half an hour, came back and it's fixed. O__O I have no further issues with it. Thank you for the advice though ^__^
