OK now things have got really wierd. The problem has nothing to do with the fact it's not installed on c: Just reinstalled on c: and the prob persists. However, on clicking 'Start' at the mission selection screen I noticed the res visibly change. I have taken a screenie and this bares out my suspicion. It's only after I launch a mission the res drops back to 1024x768 !!!!!!!!! All the front end screens are 1600x1200, as shown in the link below.

Now I'm completely baffled

.
Does this make any sense to you ?
Don't see why it should be, but, maybe a video driver thing you think ?
