Took your advice and bought and installed a new video card, Radeon 9550 with
256 MB of RAM. Unfortunately it made no difference at all so I guess the
problem is not related to the video card ? Have updated all the other drivers
on the system but still no joy. Saw another thread on this community with
someone with the same problem so I don't think its just me .

Any other ideas ??
Cheers

Hi Brn_demoss@.com,

If you have a laptop computer, it's difficult to upgrade your video card,
however if you have a desktop computer, visit your local computer shop,
and order any nVidia or ATI (DX8/9 compatible) card which suits your
budget. If it's a family shop, they might even install it for no extra charge.
