| 425059 | 2006-01-28 23:08:00 | I have an older game (master of orion 2) that I play often on my computer, is there anyway to force it to run in a window, as i have dual screen, and when it goes full screen and changs the resolution it pushes everything on the right monitor off. Also I would like to be able to have it open in the window rather than having to alt-tab when Im doing a multitude of things and using MOO2 to kill time between tasks Is there anyway to force it to run in a window? |

| 425061 | 2006-01-28 23:18:00 | Yea, already tried that but it doesnt, also when its open it forces the displays to 256 colours making the rest of the contents of the screens look REALLY sick! | dirtbag (6060) | ||

| 425063 | 2006-01-28 23:39:00 | Nvidia 6600GT, yea drivers installed and all. the game itself runs in 256colours, but also brings the other screen down to its level. | dirtbag (6060) | ||
| 425064 | 2006-01-29 05:36:00 | I've seen this behaviour before, but never seen a fix. I put it down to a DirectX built-in limit. It probably won't perform satisfactorily, but I guess a virtual PC might do the trick. |
