Does it crash before even loading the "Sonic Team" screen? If so it could be DirectX initialization issue.
This can be caused by a number of things:
- Incompatible Resolution selected in options
- External monitor plugged into laptop which can cause directx not to be able to detect the supported resolution
- Video card drivers (try updating them).
Other reasons for general crashing are:
- Corrupt data files
- Antivirus preventing PSOBB.EXE from accessing its data files
- If game has been installed in the "Program Files" directory in Vista/7/8. This is a protected directory in these operating systems. There's no issues with putting it there. It's just you'll need to ensure that the game is run as an Administrator to work correctly.
Try downloading the
Eden client and unpacking it to a directory that your user has full control to. "My documents" for example, and then try launching online.exe/psobb.exe.
Let me know how you get on.
