did u download the file from the main page? if so then it should have created a portable dolphin folder in the same location as the file. click the link in my sig to get the latest builds in 7z format.

First of all, your PC is not good enough to play Dolphin at play-able speed. Trying to get it started isn't even really worth it. If you really want to use Dolphin you should buy a new PC, but if it's worth it? I don't know, just stick to your GameCube/Wii.

ahh, i didnt notice your processor. u cant use dolphin at all, dolphin only works on processors that support at least sse2.

Yea unless you got money to waste I think that's the way to go right now.
