SI Staff Pete Dewhirst Posted August 20, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm attempting to change my game from full screen to windowed mode, however the game won't let me as it says my screen does not have the required settings. I'm currently playing on a laptop with quite a wide screen, as a result my resolution is 1280x800 pixels. Anyone know what the accepted settings are? Any help would be appreciated.

SI Staff Pete Dewhirst Posted August 20, 2008 Author SI Staff Share Posted August 20, 2008 I referred to the handbook which says you can only play in windowed mode if resolution is above 1024x768, which mine is. I have tried different resolution but none work. It doesn't matter I suppose. Just a tad irritating! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Follow this on how to get the game into windowed mode: http://www.sigames.com/sibase.php?type=view&id=147 (just change the 2005's to 2008's). If you are using vista you may need to create a shortcut to FM first. Alternatively you can follow This page to play the game in fullscreen mode using your full resolution.

pelicanstuff Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Also, it helps a great deal to set your taskbar to auto-hide. Avoids scrollbars in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
