too close? step back a bit and see if it does anything

on another note: why do you have 16GB of RAM?

Glovepie or other tools (I haven't tested Wiinremote) uses internal Wiimote gyrosensors to track the mouse position, that's why you don't need a sensor bar or candles to move the mouse. However, if Dolphin is using it as a real Wiimote, then you need the sensor bar or the candles.

He has a corei7. 16 GB is not THAT much anymore.

Edit: Apparently Wiinremote uses the IR sensor, are you sure you are using the IR function instead of the Motion sensor in Wiinremote? Maybe you are too close as silveruniverse said. Also, try to shorten the distance between candles.

You can get more, and in theory windows 7 ultimate supports about 128 GB and the more recent server OSs support a few Terabytes.

16 gb? LOL why on earth would you question that? From what I here dolphin wont touch much more then 4GB, some say > 2GB is a complete over kill. I have 4GB my self and play at very comfortable speeds.

Yeah, above 8GB is for high end video editing and for servers. However it is a good way to trick dumb people into paying £100 more for something they'll never notice and could buy for £50.

I just did some tests. My win7 runs using about 1.5 GB or ram. When I run games I may hit 2 GB, thus far nothing more.

Well you didn answer the "step back" You can not be that close. Also did you set top or bottom? From you pic it looks very dark in the room ( this is good ) make sure you dont have other lights near by. And make sure the BT ( if you have a dongle ) is in the open. If its in the back of the system it may not work right and never receive IR data from the wand.
