Need more info, like Revision, system spec etc.
Update your DirectX Redistribution, runtime, GPU drivers etc. read the FAQ threads at the top of the page linked.

The most likely problem is your CPU is outdated. Post your CPU, then update the stuff Asmodean said.

Sounds like his cpu doesn't support SSE2. If you have an AMD Athlon XP or older, a Intel cpu older than a Pentium 4 forget about Dolphin and buy a Wii/GC instead which would be cheaper. That is unless you want to spent upwards of $600 - $1000 on the hardware needed to run Dolphin with decent performance. Some AMD Sempron's do not support SSE2 so those won't be able to run Dolphin.

Dolphin crashing with a generic Windows error message when attempting to launch the program indicates your cpu does not support SSE2.
