bonavinter Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 What it says on the tin. Why is my option to play in windowed mode greyed out? On my laptop, I could play in whatever mode I wanted, but not on this stationary. What do I need to do? I'm trying to multitask at the moment and it's much harder without windowed mode.

CaptainPlanet Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It's usually because the desktop is set to 1024x768 or lower Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yes, indeed it is. But, that 'trick' I posted solves the problem. Or he can just change the resolution... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonavinter Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 where exactly do I type that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That message means that the screen resolution is below the min recommended for the game, as was pointed out above. Changing the resolution to 1024 x 768 should solve the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonavinter Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 My res is already at 1024 x 768 Plus I'd rather not change it, I am used to it. So in what file should I type in the stuff that Fabio posted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlindqui43 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I've noticed window mode actually makes the game run slower... just use alt+tab to get to internet explorer or whatever other programs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 bonavinter, create FM shortcut on your Desktop, right click on it then Properties and then see Target field and it will look like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2011\fm.exe" and you need to add ' -small_screen -windowed' without quotation marks and don't forget one blank space in beetwen ...fm.exe'' and -small_..... I hope you understood me now, but if not then ask someone whos first language is English as mine isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
