selufc Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Got a new laptop running on vista installed fm2008 and works fine. Went to prefrences to turn off full screen mode and it said something about system support. Seen loads of posts on different sites saying you could force it into a windowed mode by putting -small_screen -windowed in the target box Went to to do this but i can't type into the target box. How do you do this? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grff Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 You need to type it in the fm08 shortcut on your desktop, not the application file that it is a shortcut to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Manic Depressant Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 you can use --fullscreen_width=1280 -- fullscreen_height=800 so at least in full screen mode it is not stretching Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
