Rugby 08 Keeps Crashing On Startup

[HarbourLord]

Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help. Every time I try to start up Rugby 08 on PC (downloaded it from oldgamesdownload) it just freezes on the opening ***le screen and crashes. can't find anything here on the forums that's answered how to fix it so wondering if anyone can help?

Well, there's the topic here "Rugby 08 Exe anyone?" which is along the same lines of the problem you (and I) are having. The same thing happens to me when I try and load Rugby'06 or '08, it just drops straight back to desktop after the logo.

Some people have luck with a different .exe file, which someone kindly posted in the thread I mentioned, but it doesn't matter which one I try it never works on my new pc. Hopefully you have better luck.
