Try removing the video8.cfg file and remember:

Another thing to be aware of.  Any abnormal game crash could corrupt a configuration file and once that happens every time the game tries to use it, it could cause the game to crash.

Move the "settings" folder out of the way after any abnormal game crash in order to do proper debugging.

Also note, if you are running any anti-anything type of program, those can cause game crashes and config corruption as well.
