i went to display properties, settings, selected my second monitor, and ticked the "Extended my windows... blah, blah, blah" box off.

Then my video card was only working with 1 monitor, so it had to do less work, allowing it to run dolphin correctly.

You disabled the other monitor, it worked, AND you got a viola too?!?!?

Damn, I wish I was so lucky. Big Grin

voila!

Anyway, it's strange that dual monitor slows it down so much. Do you have one gfx card with two display ports, or are you running two separate cards?

So thank you all for your help.

I just wish i didnt have to disable the monitor. I had been planning on getting a second video card and sli-ing it (1 card per monitor), so that would probably help. until then, oh well.

again, thanks!

Tis weird that this happened to you....I have dual monitors setup and never have problems running dolphin :\
