Windowed or full screen???

Please settle an argument with my friend..

who plays windowed?

who plays full screen?

I play full screen windowed mode

I play full screen windowed mode

yeah i do this to, works a treat

I play windowed mode, but I have also resized window to fit monitor why? Because I am talking on msn in same time and it's annoying that FM get minimalized each time I switch window.

I play full screen windowed mode

lol yeh me too. I find it annoying having to alt + tab all the time as i'm always looking around on the internet whilst playing fm, so it just makes more sense to have it in windowed mode.

(I prefer) Windowed.

I play windowed mode so i can be on her at the time. I stretch the window to fill my screen though obviously. Just the same apart from you have the start bar along the bottom to browse between windows.

Windowed mode all the way.

Then I can be on the internet / MSN at the same time.

Fullscreen. It was however better to play windowed on my PC before I increased the ram because every time I'd minimize the game from fullscreen it would conflict with Vista causing my PC to slow down. That was FM2008.

Windowed for me...I need to be able to look at the intertubes at all times.

I'ld like to be on HER at the same time as playing FM, but she wont let me!!!

Dammit zimmerman beat me to it

I was going to go with a "I didn't know windowed mode offered that possibility" quip.

Full Screen all the way....

Windowed for the quickie web surf between processing.

thats what i was thinking!!

actually i dont undetstand what this windowed mode thing is?

i watch the 3D game on the classic view so i can easily go to the tactics and player ratings.

is this the same thing?

i mean how can anyone look at the internet at the same time as playing FM?

Unbelievable.

I dont even like playing after a few drinks as it messes with my mind and i make rash decisions.

focus is the word.

I think SI is looking into this for the 9.2.0 patch, it it obviously a bug! They will make it 25-35% more likely that will happen while playing 9.2.0

Err, no. It means running the game in a window, so you have your windows startmenu and taskbar available. so when you press continue on FM you can press the internet explorer window at the taskbar and do some quick forum trolling while the game processes to the next game.

aaaaahhh!!

thanks Butters76, i always knew i was a bit of computer dunce.

When i play FM it fills my screen and i dont know how to 'minimise' the game without saving it and quitting the game.

How can you minimise the gmae without losing it?

thanks

sorry for being so thick here.

ps. the only reason i have a pc is for internet and to play FM.

I play in full screen 99% of time. occasionally when i talk to my gf or someone on msn or to rant on here due to frsutration i window it, but prefer full screen so i cna be fully submerged and not distracted.

You go to options --> prefrenses --> display and sound, set display mode to windowed and drag the window to the desired size. Done

So, who won the argument, lol?

Windowed BTW.

Just select "preferences" from the options drop down menu, then select "display & sound", and then select "windowed" in the resolution settings.

its looking like windowed in the prefered option!

or in full screen you can press windowskey+D and it will go to desktop then alt+tab once opened something else.

Thanks to you Butters76 and Solid Gone, much appreciated.

will try this when i get home tonight with a saved game so nothing can go wrong!

Windowed, runs much more smootly.

ok thanks PGB Spurs also

I too prefer windowed

I always play windowed

Windowed for me.

Always play windowed.

Must be nice to have the choice....

Who plays full screen? And why?

I play windowed, with the window maximized to fit screen.

-So I can do other stuff while playing.

window mode, i crash on full screen

windowed at 1024x768 on a 1680x1050 resolution, but when I play a matchday I maximise the window.

Windowed for me

Always windowed. Need to be able to jump online for email and work stuff (job never stops.)

Or to refer to Wolfsong's Team Talk Guide

(I prefer) Windowed.

Windowed, invaluable for the workspace. Plus i can surf the web and check email.
