homerjnick Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 where do i do that? i don't get it :S Right click your FM09 shortcut and choose properties. In the target box make sure it is: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" -short_screen -windowed Click Apply then double click the icon.

jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't know if this will work but try this: 1. Right click on your taskbar and choose properties 2. Tick auto-hide taskbar, apply and confirm 3. Then try and see can you change to windowed mode in the game preferences Let me know how you get on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawKam Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Weird. I had it running in Windowed when i first started playing. Then the second time I launch game, it doesn't let me apply it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 everytime i run windowed mode it gives me a error and it just shuts downi can run game in full screen mode What's your screen resolution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the man Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Had this problem myself. If your shortcut has been created from steam then no matter what you enter into the target field you won't get windowed mode. The shortcut has to be created from the sports interactive file(I think) and then enter the code into the target field and, voilà, windowed mode.

akarol Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I don't understand why SI can't just make it compatible with the lower resolution. It's such a hassle for us netbookers to get the game running right. Ugh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got a shortcut from SI, just the one from Steam. What do I do? Also can someone give me screenshot of what the "target box" is meant to look like?
