Madden NFL 06
Error - CreateDevice Failed / Device Does Not Support the Queried Technique
 
When starting the game, you might receive a black screen, followed by a "CreateDevice failed" error popup. 
Clicking through this popup leads to another box claiming your device "Does Not support the current technique." 
Clicking OK dumps you back to the desktop.

This seems to be a DirectX-related error. You can work around it by running the game through a program called DxWnd, 
which is available at SourceForge. Download it and unzip the contents to a folder of your choice.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/

Next, download this file and place it in your DxWnd/exports folder.

Run DxWnd. At the main main, click File/Import

You should see "Madden NFL 06" listed in the main menu with a green light next to it. Double click on the Madden NFL 06 line to start the game.
If the game does not launch, try exiting DxWnd and re-running it as an administrator.

On my laptop I get a black screen for about 10 seconds before the intro video appears, so if you get a black screen initially, 
don't panic - eventually you should be greeted by the EA Sports intro followed by the main menu.

Hopefully, you'll be home free from here. Select your teams and hit the gridiron.
