canvey!! Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Windowed Mode is so that the game appears in a normal window, rather than taking up the whole screen. That way you are able to see the taskbar and the maximise/minimise/close buttons at the top of the window. To enter it, you need to go to Options > Preferences, select "Display and Sound" in the sidebar, and change it in the Resolution drop-down box. You then must confirm, using the bottom-left option, and the game will re-adjust itself to windowed mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafcjgreen Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 on mine it doesnt allow me to select windowed mode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 That'll be because you're screen resolution is too low - here's another way to do it for those who can't do it through the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 CanveyI added that into the target box but it still comes up full screen. Any ideas? I assume you're loading using that shortcut, because any other way wouldn't work. Also, the phrase must come outside the quotes. Try changing your resolution. Right click on the desktop, click "Personalize" or "Properties" (Vista or XP) and go to Display Settings. I think the minimum for windowed mode is 1152 x 720 pixels. Then you can try again via the game's preferences screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

canvey!! Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yes, others have noticed that. I haven't personally, but I've only had it in fullscreen for the period of time it took to change it to windowed mode! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
