If you have the beta version (v2.9.18.604) installed... right-click the profile and select "Update profile". This may fix the issue.
Did you create a new profile with the v2.9.18.607 beta?
Hmmm... one more thing. Try changing you system date to the day in which the profile was created and test it again (don't forget to change you date back after the test). Let me know the results.
We need to determine if this is date related.
Can you recreate the profile... test it and make sure it works. Then change the system date and test again. Let me know the results.

I'm still baffled as I still play Madden '08 about every day and reboot once a week or so. My son also plays on his computer every day and shuts down daily. No issues here whatsoever on XP Pro with all the latest Windows updates. I don't have any emulation software installed. I recently had to reinstall my OS via a backup image, and still everything works fine.
I haven't installed the latest beta, still running v2.9.18.600 with driver version 2.9.18.595. Madden is v3.0.
I realise this doesn't help you much, other than to point to a possible conflict on your system that we don't have.
I'd try shutting down everything in task manager (one by one) that you don't absolutely need and see if something there isn't causing the problem. If nothing there, I'd check services loading with Windows. Just make a note of what you stop/disable so you can enable it again later if need be.
Hope you get it sorted out.
I've looked at everything about my system. As I mentioned in a couple of my later posts I did another fresh install with just GJ and Madden and still no luck, but it appears I'm not the only one having issues. Is it possible it could be an Intel Chipset or Intel SATA raid driver issue or maybe an issue with dual core processors or maybe an issue with SATA DVD/CDROM drives and the emulation GJ uses? Maybe we need to look at that angle to determine the issue with Madden? Another thing to look at is for those who are having success are you using the CD or DVD version? I think I saw another post somewhere in the forums for the latest Tiger Woods game and they seem to have problems with GJ as well which uses the latest Securom version.
When you say fresh install, I'm assuming you mean that you've uninstalled GJ and Madden, but not formatted your hard drive.
Using the latest beta version, doe sthe "Update profile" option appear when you right-click the Madden profile. If so... can you try running the update process.
I believe it's your sata cdrom drive... I remember reading here on the forum that someone else was having a similar issue.
