Hi Brian,
Anyway, thanks for the useful input. It may be that we never know for sure, but if anyone else has the problem then it's worth giving this a try.
Cheers.

Might your issue be due to a certain combination of cpu, motherboard, hardware?Anything is possible I suppose, but the manner in which the problem was only sorted by the installation of the redistributables points to that being the answer. Otherwise, there's no logical explanation. I think the difference with your build is that you performed the Microsoft updates, whereas my machine is permanently off-line, so a manual search and download was needed. Basically I don't do Windows updates because when I boot the PC I like it to be just as it was when I shut it down! It would be interesting to find out if the AVA plugins used Visual Studio C++ in part of the development, because as Johne pointed out, that would necessitate the installation of redistributable files.
