Windowed Mode - I know it's been done before!!!

[Guest]

OK - I seem to be having trouble running my FM2005 in windowed mode!

I managed it on the Demo, but now have the full game and can't seem to
get it working!

I've opened the properties of the Shortcut on my desktop - and changed
the Target as...

"C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2005\fm2005.exe"
-windowed

Is this correct?

I've also tried unchecking the Full Screen in the preferences of the game.

My screen resolution is 1024*768 - so shouldn't be a problem there!

Any help would be great

Cheers,

Tobes

you need to set more than 1024x768 resolution to be able to set windowed
mode

Yes, but once you've sucsessfully set the flag, you can change your
resoloution to anything you like and it'll still work. I run mine windowed
at 1024x768, but every time I need to re-install for some reason or another
I can't change back to windowed mode until I remember, change my resoloution
temporarily, set windowed mode, then change back and it's cool.

Of course if your on a laptop and it's screed doesn't support that your only
option will be to port into an external monitor, set it, then you'll be cool
for the laptop monitor.

I think the "lowest" resolution is 1280 for windowed mode...

You can do it in 1024x768

add this to your shortcut:

-small_screen -windowed
