I've used this version of Dolphin just a few days ago and it worked fine, but now I'm getting the following debug errors when running the game and Dolphin is the program that's currently focused: http://i.imgur.com/racMFiH.png

While these messages appear, the emulation speed is cut down to about 50%. If I press alt+tab and switch to any other program (even the emulator's main window will do) while the game's window runs in the background, the speed will go right back to 100% (but then it's unplayable unless I enable background input, which I would like not to do).

The laptop I'm running on is as follows: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_...asheet.pdf

Every setting is set to default except I'm running on Direct3D. Dolphin is set to "high performance" on Catalyst Control Center, and my external GPU is selected in Dolphin, so there shouldn't be too major performance issues on default settings (and there aren't, whenever I switch the focused window).

Hope you could help me. If there's any other information I could give you, please let me know. Thank you!
It looks like some program on your computer is trying to do something on the screen that Dolphin is trying to reserve for itself. A workaround would be to disable "exclusive fullscreen", but this may lead to performance drops.
