I ran it fine on Vista64 with 4870 card. Something is wrong with your PC.

Sorted now :-)

I ran DX9 off another game disc and also ran RBR straight after install,
whereas before I'd been installing it then applying the patch and then
trying to run it. So not sure which one fixed it or if it was a
combination of the two, but it's working.

It remains to be seen if it was worth the effort, but in the long run
the DX9 thing may prevent other problems in the future.

Yes, but Directx gets updates fairly frequently so if you want to avoid
issues with newer games you want to investigate why dxwebsetup.exe won't
run for you. Last update to Directx was August, 2008.
