Sonic Colors "The Abominable Start Button" and Skipping Sound

[SeVaS]

I loaded up Sonic Colors with Dolphin 4.0 and I cant get past the start screen. It say "Press START" and I cant DO IT!!!

I dont know the specs for the pc, but its plenty fast enough to run this game. Ive played Mario Galaxy 2 and it runs great. I set the 'shake' buttons to z, x and c. Im not sure if it always said this, but since Ive scoured the internet for help, I think it started telling me that I am 'using a gamecube controller'. Either way, Ive hit every button on my keyboard and the only buttons that work are my 'shake' button of X which skips the first couple screens of videos, and the arrow keys, which move the camera.

I dont know the specs of the computer. Its using Windows... whatever windows comes after Windows 8. I get fed up with microsoft and dont keep up with this crap anymore. Sorry! I seriously doubt its a performance issue, though. I cant really say much else about the PC. Its a laptop. 17" screen. Intel Pentium B960.... Intel HD Graphics..... 4 GB RAM. Cant say much else. You can probably imagine by now that its not my computer.

Thank you for your help!

Edit: Sound question on the 4th post!
