Throughout all of this hassle, I hadn't actually had an antivirus installed. I got one this morning though, set PSO to the exceptions list.. no luck. Also turned the AV off.. with no luck. Though to make it clear again. After installing, the game loads up to the start screen fine. There is some stutter in the BGM but the game DOES load up. Once the game shuts itself down AFTER downloading the patches, it is impossible to start the game again. It doesn't even open the game window. I get the feeling that something in one of the 7 patches does not agree with my computer. As it stands, it looks as though PSO will never run on my PC. Shame, was really looking forward to playing it again Thanks for all the help and suggestions though guys, much appreciated.

Hi there, the problem still persists. Redownloaded/reinstalled a few times and ensured it is in the correct default directory with absolutely no luck. Driving me mad D:

Okay. I've redownloaded and reinstalled, I have been running PSO from the online.exe and wonline.exe both on admin with the same error message. Restarting the computer does not help at all. The exe's only work once before downloading the patches, then they cease to run. Also, I will admit I don't actually have an antivirus at the moment as the one I had, Comodo, was seeing absolutely everything, even Steam purchases, as a virus and quarantined everything.

No such luck sadly. This was happening with the Schthack version i tried as well. Seems as though my PC just doesn't like PSO Thanks though! I'll give it another shot in the morning. Ta.

After getting a huge craving for PSO again, I stumbled onto the Ultima PSO site, created an account and downloaded and installed the lastest installer. I start the game up and downloaded 7 patches which upon completion exited the program. Now... every time I attempt to start the game using either launcher, I get a 'PsoBB.exe has stopped working' dialog box with the options of searching online for a solution or to simply close the program. I am running the program as admin and Windows UAC is off. There is no anti virus hinderance either so I'm pretty confused here. I am using Windows 7 64bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am dying to play this game again!. Thanks
