Can't open emulator

Just as the title says. When I double click to open, it flashes on screen for a second and then immediately closes.
The error log has the following message:
I am running Windows 7 x64 Edition
Any ideas as to what's causing this?
Thanks.

That's a DirectDraw issue, indicating that the emulator couldn't create the required back buffers. What graphics card and drivers are you using?

My Graphics card is an AMD Radeon Sapphire R9 290 and I am using the latest driver which is version 14.1 released on April 14th this year.
I hope there's a way to get this working.

I don't have a Radeon so this may be difficult to reproduce and fix. As a temporary workaround, try the attached config - it should allow the emulator to start in Direct3D mode.
