Windowed mode

Hi,

Has anyone experienced problems playing in windowed mode? I mean actually getting the game to play in windowed mode? My game just won't do it for some reason.

All the manual says is that windowed mode is helpful for playing while reading other documents, which is exactly what I want to do (tired of Alt-Tab-ing).

You have to enable 16 bit color for the desktop otherwise the game won't start in windowed mode.

For me it works OK in a window, with 16-bit desktop. It's even more stable (in MP) because most of the crashes were while Alt-Tab'ing :-).
If I only could have game sounds active when working on another window... :hmm:
