Updating DirectX has no effect on OpenGL.

That Intel chip is really not going to be able to do much with Dolphin, but I'd try updating that Intel chips driver and see what happens. In the mean time, use the DirectX video plugin, it should work batter anyway. Either way, I wouldn't expect good performance with that weak on-board video no matter what you do. You'd be lucky to see anything on-screen at all with it.

it's that crappy intel gpu. Blame intel for being lazy and use the dx9 plugin.

dolphin needs a high end cpu and graphic cards for performance

laptops do not play well with dolphin

Laptops are capable of playing Dolphin fine, but the proper hardware is needed for that to happen.

Right, I wouldn't say laptops can't run Dolphin well because there are some laptops out there that make my computer look like a Commodore 64.
