I've recently updated from the AVGA 3000 to an AVGA 5000 and am experiencing the 'unable to initialize directdraw' errors when trying to launch through a front end or Mame. I have a Mulitisync monitor (Betson Imperial 27") that should be doing the non-interlaced desktop resolutions so I'm not sure why I'm getting the error, it didn't happen with the AVGA 3000.

Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it? I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers as well as rerun the trisync utility with no luck. Haven't been able to find anything on Google or the forums. I've emailed Andy and am waiting to hear back.
