Marcus_9 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm sorry but I've looked long and hard through countless threads to find an answer but maybe I'm blind and can't see one. I downloaded the demo last year and it was fine...windowed mode worked, I could select it from the drop down menu. However, since installing the proper game...it's greyed out. Now my screen resolution is 1024 x 768 which should be big enough I think. It ran the demo in windowed, and it ran FM07 in windowed. If I was on a pc I could use the shortcut extension, but I don't think there's anywhere to put that on a mac. It's no big discomfort, but it'd be nice to beable to use this feature Any help appreciated Cheers (oh, and I have the second patch installed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4457 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 1024 x 768 shouldn't be able to run windowed. Don't think you can even on a PC at that resolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 You have to use a resolution bigger than 1024 x 768 to have the options but you can still play in windowed mode anyway. http://community.sigames.com/showpost.php?p=2504494&postcount=3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docklanders Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 i wish i could help, im using a mac and i only just found out to play in windowed, sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If you don't have the option of a bigger resolution then you won't beable to get the windowed mode working through FM. I'm not familiar with Macs so I can't help you there either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus_9 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just to let anyone who needs to know, know...I found a way to run windowed mode on my mac at a resolution of 1024 x 768, it seems to work so far without any problems but if you try it and it makes yours run slow or stuff, don't blame me =]. I tried to load a game and it said "game could not be loaded"...and it minimised fm so I could find the folder, and that was it. So all I did was put a saved game from fm 07 in the games folder, start fm...and choose that one. Once it says it can't be loaded, then it goes to windowed mode and I chose the correct game file and boom...windowed mode, even though the option is still greyed out in the menu. The only slight thing is that you can't see the news ticker at the bottom, but if you need to see it...just press F10 . Hope this helps anyone.
