How to play SH4 in window mode

[davy79]

Hello all,

First time posting on this site. I have played SH3 since summer and usually play TCx1 in windowed mode while I am writing my PhD dissertation. The idea would be that my breaks would involve me heading up to the bridge to take in the sea air.

However, after 6 months the relentless wind and rain of the Atlantic convinced me that maybe the Pacific might be sunnier and thus more relaxing

However, I cannot for the life of me get the game to play in windowed mode. I am a bit computer illiterate so struggle with this stuff at the best of times though I did figure out mods so am not a total fool.

I checked window mode and set the ingame resolution to the lowest but that doesn't work. I also checked the main.cfg and made sure it said fullscreen=no.

Aside from that I don't know what else to do.

I really really like playing TCx1 while doing other stuff on the computer so any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Here's how you get to windowed mode:
Step 1.Go to options
Step 2. Check windowed mode and wah-la
Step 3. Chose what screen resolution you want (it's to the left of the windowed mode check box) and then you are done.

Did you even read his post?

I don't have any definite answer for you, but I did find this to try:

After checking "Windowed mode" in graphics settings, exit the game, make a shortcut for SH4.exe wherever you want, (right click on the icon) enter its properties and under "Shortcut" tab, select "Run: Minimized".
