2008 crashes on startup.

Hi folks,

I just reinstalled NHL 08 and updated the rosters with winrar. Now when ever I go to start the game the screen goes black and I get the message NHL 2008.exe has encountered a problem.

It ran with minimul crashes before the update, so does anyone have any idea of what's causing this problem and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance
F.O.G..

did you inxtall the rosters correctly as per instructions in the link called How To Install Rosters in my sig

also make sure you install 08 rosters, 09 rosters do not work with 08

Hopefully I followed the instructions explicitly. The winrar file I used is BvH Roster for NHL 08 Version 9.

I extracted the exhibition file and exhibition exha.tdb to the NHL 08 folder, then I extracted the db.viv file to the EA Sports\NHL 08\DB folder. I then clicked on the bhimport file and got a dos window that said everything was unzipped.

Any other help you could provide would be appreciated. BTW I used to like the roster patches you made for previous NHL games that didn't need a computer degree to install. LOL
