Was wondering if anyoen else here knew how to minimize it or had any ideas? Thanks in advance~~
The game can't run in windowed mode if the resolution set in the game is the same or bigger than the resolution of your Windows desktop.

So, if you're using a desktop resolution of (let's say) 1280*1024, you must tell the game to run in a resolution that is smaller than that: 1280*800, 1152*864, 1024*768 etc.

For a faster response, 2Gb of ram is very much recommended.

PS: all games will perform worse when in window mode because Windows needs to display all other windows too (which doesn't happen in fullscreen) and that takes computing power.

PPS: the key combination to switch applications is Alt+Tab, not Alt+Enter (this is used to ask for the properties of a file in Windows Explorer, for example).
