Dolphin won't detect GameCube Controller adapter

[Coke]

i'm trying to get my gamecube controller to work with dolphin, but it's not working. i'm getting an insufficient permissions error as seen here: https://prnt.sc/11c8xx4 before that i was getting an "adapter not detected" error before that.

i've tried running as administrator, taking ownership of the entire folder with all it's documents, and reinstalling using different versions of dolphin, but none of that has worked. it was working a few hours ago but suddenly i heard a disconnection, the sound your computer makes when a USB disconnects, and i haven't been able to get it working since. I know that my controller and adapter are still working because my gamecube controller still works fine when i use it on the FM-slippi version for online smash bros melee. any ideas/help? it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

yeah but i fixed it myself. not sure what the error was. i think it had to do with me having both the slippi version of dolphin and the regular version open at once. i guess you can only have one open at a time. or maybe it was something else but it's fixed now. thanks.

Yes, exactly. Each adapter can only be used with one instance of Dolphin at a time.
