[SOLVED] Downloaded Deus Ex Collection from Steam - Having performance issues

I had a recent craving for some Deus Ex goodness. Having lost my CD long ago I decided to download both of them through Steam.
As soon as Deus Ex had finished downloading I started it up and everything was very jumpy. According to FRAPS it's running at a completely solid 60fps but it still seems to jump awkwardly. It's like it just completely skips tiny parts of the game. For example, running across a room will take three seconds normally; with my issue that seems to take one second. I just sort of appear on the other side of the room.
I've never had this problem with any other game.
I tried to capture the problem with FRAPS but it doesn't show up when I do that.
Any tips onto what might be causing this?
Edit: I started it up again and now everything runs in slow motion... like bullet time. The game now also doesn't recognise my mouse or keyboard, so all I can do is watch the Eidos and Ion Storm logos slowly float by and then stare at the gradually rotating Deus Ex symbol.
I'm guessing it's a problem with my computer being TOO new for such an old game; my specs are:
Intel Core2Duo 2.16GHz processor
Nvidia 7300GT 128mb graphics card
1GB of RAM
I'm running the game on max everything at 1600x1200 resolution.
