Madden 08 PC crashes (Direct3D device)
So every time I go to play this game, the game closes before I even see a menu, showing me the error "could not reset Direct3D device, the game will now close." Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

I remember once seeing this error before. I occurred when I had setup my laptop with two display. I got it to work by using either monitor. Try deleting the "VIDEO.GUID" file in the "My Documents/Madden NFL 08" folder. Also try reverting back to the displays default settings.

Disconnecting one of the monitors worked, thanks for your help!

Is there a way to fix this without unplugging one of my monitors. I used to run it on dual monitors , but on reinstalling it wont work

Not sure but you may have to use a 3rd party application (nVIDIA/ATI) to stretch that resolution over two monitors. Usually video card manufacturers will give you some kind of tool to "stretch" the game over screens.
For help running madden please consult my guide and posts from fellow users here....thanks! (link below) viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17907
I'm not on site much, so if I don't respond it's b/c I haven't checked in a while.

Disconnecting, then deleting Video.GUI worked. I wasnt trying to play across two screens.
Thanks though

For Amd cards/dual monitor setups you can enable gpu scaling.
