Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I've been using Dolphin for quite a while, and only recently am I getting this issue. Dolphin crashes whenever I:
a. Click on the graphics settings
b. Start a game
This only happens when the GPU is being used, otherwise it works with Intel HD Graphics. I wouldn't really complain if it weren't for the fact that Intel HD Graphics is terrible and barely able to run anything properly. Also, I've tried it with 3.0-369,3.0-397, and 3.0-761, all on 64x.
My hardware and operating system:
Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
8.00 GB RAM
Nvidia GT 555m
Windows 7 64-bit
My drivers were updated recently. I would post pictures of the settings, but they change whenever I turn the GPU on or off (auto adjust to Direct3D11, etc).
Any help would be awesome

Have you been mixing and matching Dolphin files and folders from other versions? Start fresh with a new Dolphin download and don't mess with the files.

I have, but only to the extent of save games, save states, and pad configuration. I've just tried what you suggested, but to no avail. I still can't run or adjust graphical settings at all.

Try updating these two:

So I updated them as you suggested, or tried to in an any case.
For the C++ Redistributable:

A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine.

Uninstalled and reinstalled it using the link posted, but the error is still persistent.

You say this is recent, what recently changed? Obviously something is going on with your PC, but I don't know what it is. You can try the official 3.0 release and see if you get the same issues. http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/downloads/list

Install latest beta driver to fix it

Thank you. That worked like a charm.

Beta driver? Wow.

Anyway, I have Nvidia and have not had this problem, only when I mix plugins from newer revisions into older ones.
