That's not a valid bug report - you have to find out how to redo this for others first.
Needless to say, this basic feature was tested before we released, and just works fine for everyone (but you)!

There's something on your system preventing the game engine to run. It might be lack of graphics memory (256 is not a lot, especially if you use a large screen, or more monitors even). Just do some tests what goes on... try an older version of Blender, make window size small, try another system.

If the crash is related to a specific blender file, you should add that in this tracker too.

Post here if you have something we can work on? Then we reopen the issue.
