Dolphin runs one time and after closing won''t start again

[Wolf1976]

Hi Guys

I have a problem with the dolphin emulator, after downloading the programm and setting up controls etc. the emulator starts and runs perfect. Also the games run great but.......

After closing the programm and starting it up again you see windows thinking and then.... nothing. the program just won''t start again. After reinstalling it will do the same thing.

Here''s my specs:

Windows 7 32 bits
intel core2duo
Nvidia card (512 mb)


I have tried:

- newest drivers video card
- new direct x and C++
- checking firewall
- newest and older versions of dolphin
- altering the Dolphin.ini file (as stated in some posts)

It just won''t start a second time, please help!!

Yo, you couldn't have been less descriptive with that list. Try harder so that we can actually get an idea what it was that you tried.

Ok i''m sorry my first time posting this issue.

I have tried the following:

- re-installing the dolphin programm after the error
result: same thing, starts perfect the first time and runs games perfect but after closing the programm it will not start again. double clicking the programm (and also starting it in admin mode) results in the running circle from windows and the nothing. Also no error message.

- Have checked if the programm maybe already running in the background by checking the processe etc. but it is not in.

- By checking the intenet and this forum for solving this problem i have done the following (after checking a post from Guybrush_Three: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-dolphin-has-stopped-working-now-dolphin-is-ignoring-me)

- installing the newest Nvidia graphic drivers for my graphics card with no results.
- installing newest Divx drivers with no results
- installing newest Visual basic C++ drivers with no results
- changing the values in dophin.ini file with no results

alle decribed in a post of this forum:

1 of these issues :
_Nvidia driver issue . Some users (include me) had this problem with driver 302 . Update to latest beta/official driver might fix it
_Dolphin is blocked by some stupid programs like Anti-virus software , windows firewall
_Dolphin sit on taskbar and not show up . How to fix : Go to Dolphin folder (you must close dolphin when doing this) -> User\Config\Dolphin.ini . Find those lines (in the attachment) and change those number to "0" then save

So now i am left outoff options, hope this is enough info? if not please advise what you guys need

Don't make us assume that you've done all of the steps you listed correctly. That's not the case in 90% of all issues, even when people think they've done stuff correctly :|

"changing the values in dolphin.ini" <-- which values?

where did you even get your dolphin build from?

How do you "install" Dolphin?

etc etc etc

Dunno if any of these questions get answered by reading the thread you linked to, but I really don't feel like reading that whole thread just to get basic information.

Fyi, upload the Dolphin.ini (the one with which you get the issue) to some pastebin service and link to that here.

ok no problem, what i ment is that i openend dolphin.ini and changed the values of the following:

RenderWindowXpos = -1 to 0
RenderWindowYpos = -1 to 0
RenderWindowidth= 640 to 0
RenderWindowHeight= 480 to 0

as decribed in the pos i have linked: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-dol...noring-me)

Dolphin build came from the dolphin website, with install i mean extract the downloaded .zip file to a folder.

Heres the link to my ini file:http://pastebin.com/REc9yNbu

Anyone have an idea?? still got the problem

Delete Dolphin.ini and launch Dolphin

a windows with 0heigt and 0 width can't be rendered...

and if you have no save to save, I think you can delete the whole folder of Dolphin and reinstall it.
(last time you try to re-install it, did you uninstall it before?)

Hi

Thank you for the advice, i deleted it before and also removed it from the registry. after reinstalling dolphin it does the same

I found it!!

The programm produces a logger.ini file with the following:

[LogWindow]
x = 400
y = 600
pos = 2
[Options]
Font = -1
WrapLines = False

After deleting this ini file the programm runs again.

I am using Dolphin in the Maximus arcade frontend, after exiting dolphin the first screen stay visible for about 3 secs and the closes, When starting it again it doesnt run. But after deleting the logger.ini file it runs.

Anybody have an idea to get rid of this problem
