What Options within the game are available? Depending on the game, which
you haven't named, you may be able to set it to start/play within a window.

Hi guys

thanks for responding.

The game in question is Cossacks Back to War, as far as i can see there are
no options to make this game play in a window.

I have tried the (-window) at the end of the short cut link but this seems
to create a problem so it cannot find the link to the game application.

I have also tried Alt+Enter and Ctrl+Enter which another member suggested to
someone with a similar request - but to no avail it will not go into window
mode.

Cheers - hope this info helps.

I've been told -w should do the trick.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply again. Still having a problem with this though - here
is the message i get when i put either -w or -window after the shortcut (by
the way the short cut is in quotes "") in the quotes.

Problem with Shortcut (dialogue box)
The name 'C:\Pragram Files\Cossacks - Back To War\dmcr.exe -w' specified in
the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

Outside of the quotes this problem does not occur, however it has no effect
on the full-screen mode of the game.

Cheers

Jay
