thanks for the help, I'm sure this must be the way to fix it as you said but
I'm still in the dark a bit as to which part to change and where? do I
change it in the windows/system folder or do I change it in the main place
where I extracted the drivers and then reinstall them?
I attempted to change it to the following but it still seems to get stuck on
NTSC anyway each bootup also there's some very dodgy looking large numbers
in the slider bars (in Virtualdub video source settings) for the saturation,
hue, brightness, etc so I think I messed it up with my tweaking somehow so I
will uninstall the drivers as best I can and reinstall them.

as you can see I rem'ed out a few TVTuner lines with semi-colons (as I don't
have a tuner on this card and it said to do that so it doesn't enumerate the
tuner on startup but it did anyway :-\ ) and I also changed the:
HKR,,VideoStandard,,NTSC ; "NTSC", "PAL", "SECAM",
; "NTSC_433_50", "NTSC_433_60",
; "NTSC_N", "PAL_433_60", "PAL_N",
; "PAL_M", "AUTO"
to this:
HKR,,VideoStandard,,PAL_I ; "NTSC", "PAL", "SECAM",
; "NTSC_433_50", "NTSC_433_60",
; "NTSC_N", "PAL_433_60", "PAL_N",
; "PAL_M", "AUTO"
as an added bonus it seems to also returns this error in
Virtualdub......Status 411: Warning no frames were captured, try turning
overlay off, reduce capture resolution or reducing colour depth to 16 or 24
bit....... but I am sure that this is related to the drivers as I have
captured video perfectly ok with this card before no probs and the only
thing I did recently was a reinstall of windows.
I'll keep trying to sort it out anyway and I'll post back if I manage to fix
it any and thanks again for your help
