I just installed Brothers in Arms - Highway to Hell into my computer. All is ok until the game gets to the choice to play or do dome setup of options. The background images of a burning windmill wheel and people moving is like in staggered movements. This is at screen resolution of 1280x1024. The mouse cursor doesn't move fluently, its REAL sticky, and when I go tp play the game its completely useless trying to aim and fire a weapon fast enough to stay alive. Using the keyboard WASD keys to move my character is jerky and slow.
I tried changing the screen resolution to a lesser value. Getting the mouse and keyboard to move to the arrows was like hell. I noticed when I had changed the res that the timer that gives 15 seconds for you to accept the change on not was actually taking 10 seconds to countdown and change from 15 to 14, and 14 to 13 etc.
The only screen resolution that gets the timer right (mental counting time for me) is the ridiculous setting of 320x200. Unreadable onscreen writing (guides/tips/tutorial etc and almost useless image beyond my nose due to pixelation. Running at a screen res on 400x300 is pretty smoothe but also has pixelated writing and edges to my face and other objects.
I've tried lessening the Texture QualityShadow, the Texture Quality and the Shadow Detail from High to Medium and Low. That doesn't do anything to speed the gameplay.
Is this a problem with Frame Rate...my Graphics card?
I have a pretty good computer and its all up to date with drivers etc. My computers specs well exceed the minimum requirements to play this game.
Here are the details of my computer, the game min requirements and details about DX and more.

Any help and ideas on getting rid of this stroboscopic effect I'm bugged with will be well appreciated.
Gothic 3 Enhanced was a bit like this Hells Highway but nowhere near as severe. I kinda fixed that by lessening details in the scenery etc.
Anyway, this is a different ball game and its not a stroll in the park.
Cheers
