Unable to open Dolphin

09-14-2009, 09:38 AM #1

When ever I try to run or open dolphin, it crashes and gives me the windows error report. It crashes both on dolphin.exe and dolphinIL.exe. I downloaded the 32 bit version since I run in windows XP 32 bit

Here are my specs
2.1Ghz processor(overclocked unsure brand)
512 MB ATI Radeon x1650
1GB Ram

I assume I could at least run it, not sure why it doesn't even open. Any help would be appreciated! Big Grin

Either go to start->run->type "dxdiag" without "" and you should see the CPU info. Or you can download "CPU-Z" which gives more information about your CPU, motherboard and so on. But chances are the CPU isn't power enough and/or doesn't support SSE2. If it's not a dual core (Core 2 Duo and not Pentium-D) then, well, it won't run very fast at all. It's worth the upgrade if and when you have the funds to it.
