It looks like you were absolutely correct.
I have determined what the problem was on my Windows XP SP3 (x86) installation that prevented me from running in windowed mode.
Due to power supply issues,
I had to disable my ATI Radeon 6750 graphics adapter,
and when using the motherboard Intel graphics adapter I am able to run the game in a window!
It seems that the ATI CATALYST graphics driver software was the only stopper.
So the logical question is...
are those of you who can't run MADDEN in a window also running an ATI adapter with their CATALYST drivers?EDIT: My joy has been short lived.
Even though front-end setup is now operating in a window,
once the game starts it's back to full screen only.
EDIT 2: Happy, happy. Joy, joy!
Alt+Enter after the game starts and it will run in a window.
Unfortunately I will be eventually using that ATI Radeon card which forces the game to full screen.
