I tried getting rid of everything Dolphin besides my Isos, then restarted my system. I downloaded the latest version of Dolphin and it worked twice before not opening again. If there's anything I can do please do tell, because Dolphin is pretty much my favorite thing on my laptop and I really want to play. xD
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Dolphin.exe
Application Version: 0.0.0.0
Application Timestamp: 5049343d
Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll
Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.17725
Fault Module Timestamp: 4ec4aa8e
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 00000000000548c8
That's the error I am getting.
Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll
I'm not sure, but did you download randomly *.dlls? If yes, it's nor recommended at all. Anyway, it's just a assumption. Maybe a Dev knows more...
Yeah I mean, I didn't go out and just download any .dlls for anything. I've uninstalled and deleted everything that I've downloaded around the time Dolphin stopped working but the problem persists. Could it perhaps have something to do with permissions or anything? Like files trying to create or delete and they can't? I know I read something about DEP, but that's only for x32 when I have x64. I just really want to get this working
That file is a part of the kernel. A problem with that file indicates a serious problem with your system in general. I looks like a virus may have gotten you man.
Try all of the stuff listed here:

The one with the best chance of working IMHO is repairing windows.
The fact that the bug happens in ntdll/kernel32 just means that a function of kernel32/ntdll is called with invalid arguments or an invalid state. Stop overreacting.
I'd still think there is a malware of some sort screwing things up on your system though. I don't see any other reasons why Dolphin would work once and not the next time.

Which is my point. If it worked for a while, and then stopped working because of a kernel-related error, some sort of virus or malware has infected the system and he should repair windows.
If malware or a virus is affecting the kernel, that's a serious problem and he should try to repair windows to see what errors there are with his system.

If that call isn't coming from Dolphin (which it isn't), where would it be coming from?
It is not a kernel related error. You don't understand the error message, re-read my previous message.

Don't assume stuff when you have no idea about it.
I thought that too, but the thing is, this only happens with Dolphin, nothing else. I'll try running virus scans and all of that, but I also noticed, when I right click the Dolphin folder and hit properties, it's in read only mode. I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be, but whenever I try and change that it just goes back to read only.

That's just a Windows 7 thing. It shouldn't cause any problems. As long as the box is filled and not checked it's fine.
