Thanks for your answer.

Actually, what I did was re-download everything and start again. Much the same technique as whacking the TV or kicking your car. But like those techniques it seemed to work. Also, I got right level of swearing which is always important.

Sorry, not to be much help as I don't know why it did not play the game to begin with. But thanks for admin_profiles it does just what I need it to do and now works beautifully.
