I would appreciate it if anyone can help me out with this.
Thanks!

I had an opposite issue to yours after completing a clean install of the game. I was trying to get the game to run in a window on my ultra-wide monitor.

Prior to the clean install I had SH4 running at 1920 x 1080 inside a window so I know the game will run Windowed. You just might have to coerce it into complying.

Basically it boiled down to starting a career in game which forces the game to create the Save Game folder under Documents/My Documents. Inside the Save Game folder\Data\CFG is a "MAIN.CFG" file which stores player settings for the game. I had to edit the resolution entry shown from the section -

[VIDEO]
Resolution=3440,1440,100,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=No
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

to get the game to run at my monitors native resolution and refresh rate 3440x1440 at 100 mhz. Running the game at this high resolution fills up the entire screen of my LCD so I don't even see a window border even though the entry for FullScreen says no.

You may be able to edit the same entry to force the game to run inside a window at a resolution suitable to your display.
