Running a Fullscreen Game In A Window

[Shando]

Hi, is there any way to run a full screen game, namely Red Alert 2, in a window rather than full screen. Bear in mind that there is no option to do this in the game options. Thanks

as far as i know the game needs to have the "run in window" option to be able to do that. if your lookinig for a way to minimze the game quick just hit the window button on your keyboard.

Virtual PC would probably work, but that's a little expensive. Generally speaking, there's really no easy way.

I actually have Virtual PC, but I don't want to install windows Xp again just to play one game in a window. Are there any other ways you can think of?

 

[King X13]

well what are you trying to do by running it in a window, like what do you want the game to run in a windows and not full screen ?

In some games you can add -w in the target line.

I tried the -w thing, and it didn't work

sometimes -window works if -w doesn't.

Try setting the compatibility settings.
