Issue with dolphin on windows 7

Question 
I've looked all over the web for a related problem that I'm having with dolphin, but I havent been able to find any solutions to my problem so I'm posting my problem here.

About a month ago, I bought this computer out of complications of my old computer breaking down. When I did so, one of the first things I did was download dolphin and test out melee. Aside from slowdowns in the adventure mode, and Dreamland, it had 60 frames on pokemon stadium and cornariea, which was ideal for the level of game play that I have looked into for that game, and I'm not to focused on adventure anyway.

I took a break from dolphin for awhile, and played other things, then got windows 7 in the mail, as when I installed dolphin into my computer, it was on vista. So I installed it, and I began noticing that the grapic on my system wasn't quite up to par as they had been when I was on vista, as games like left 4 dead 2, and modern warfare had been choppy for me since the update to windows 7.

so a couple of days ago, I decided to get back into melee on dolphin, and much to my dismay, I find everything within the emulator running at about 20 frames, unless you go to the stages selection which it'll have perfect frames... the same kind of frames my old computer had.


so my question is... why is it giving me such a horrible frame rate when on vista, I had perfect frames? Did something happed to my computer, or is it just something that has to do with windows 7 that's causing this sort of laggyness?

system stuff:
Operating system:Windows 2.6.0.6001 (SP 1)
CPU type:Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz CPU Speed (GHz):2.02
System memory (GB):3.998
Graphics card model:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M
Graphics card driver:nvd3dum.dll
Desktop resolution:1366x768

Try uninstalling your video drivers and then downloading and installing 64 Bit Windows 7 drivers.

When going to a new operating system I always recomend a fresh instal, also, if your using the OpenGL plugin, switch to the direct3d, I'v notice OGL on windows7 doesn't run very well, and not just Dolphin, other emus as well, such as desmume, and some PC games.

Edit : Sorry, wrong quote, ment for original poster!

To nebetsu: I've tried reinstalling nvidia stock drivers from the site, as well as 3rd party drivers, but it doesnt seems to be making an differents on the performance.

To twilightrose: You think in future releases of dolphin, or maybe in the operating system itself, they'll be a fix to this grapical issue, or do you think it's something that's become permanent to windows 7 users?

I'm running win7 64bit right now and dolphin runs perfectly fine, full, or nearly fullspeed in everygame. How many processes is windows running? and, what settngs are your graphics plugin on? and try the direct3d plugin if your on openGL. And also, yes the graphics will continue to recive bugfixes with driver updates, and along with speed increase.

about 49 processes, but I'm not sure of the one that's necessary vs the one that just runs on it's own... I'll try clearing up some of it and seeing how it it runs with some of them closed. I think some of the processes are still active even though half of the programs I dont really use. Is there an easier way to clear out processes rather then having to do it manually?

Edit: it runs pretty slow with dx9 plugin

You could try GameBooster for process disabling. Also, try multiple builds of dolphin, some run better than others, sometimes the newer builds arent always better either. Also, what persons build are you trying? Like, Orleans, etc?
