	Obviously no-one else has had this problem (or not bought the game). Got it sorted last night...the problem lay with the monitor/graphics card refresh rate settings. I decided to fiddle with EVERYTHING last night with grim determination...and total success! The refresh rates for my monitor are overridden by the advanced settings of the graphics card (under the actual GeForce4 Ti nVidia section), although under Adapter you can set the refresh rates, the Direct3D refresh rates take over and cause all the problems: under 1024x768 I just manually set the rate to 85Hz and voila! Now I'll go and tell Empire Interactive that their technical support sucks big-style (they told me it was a codec issue - I don't even own one of those cameras!!!)
