ahmufcwafc Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Try this: 1. Right click on the FM09 icon on your desktop & click properties. 2. In the target field, add "-windowed -small_screen" at the end of the target, with a space between the original target & "-windowed -small_screen" & obviously no quotation marks. 3. Click ok & you should be able to play in windowed mode next time you run FM09 -------------------- Also, you should probably have FM09 off when doing this.

ahmufcwafc Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Are you sure you entered the right target? Could you copy & paste what exactly you typed into the target field? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Copy & paste this back into the target field: E:\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 10540" -windowed -small_screen You never put a space between the original target & the bit I told you to add on, that's probably your problem.

FoulkesyLFC Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 so what should i do ? also, i done this thread a few days back and had to do the same thing, its loaded my game up normally but i could choose the windowed option, but it stopped working and done this, now its doing it with y our code Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I can't see the screenshot properly, but I'm guessing it says FM.exe had to close. Sorry for any inconvenience etc etc. Can you check your screen resolution? I think that has something to do with windowed mode not working. To check your resolution, right-click on your desktop & click graphics properties Then go into display settings & you should find it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
