Is there a way to play in a window mode, and not full screen?

As far as I'm aware, you can play sh3 windowed, but if that window isn't selected, you will lose the sounds.
And if you're running the high-res fix, you can't play it windowed at all.
Yeah, it's a shame, because sh3 is exactly the game you would want to play windowed with all the loading times and long traveling involved. But to my knowledge, there's no fix for this..

You can switch the game from windowed to full screen in the game's options menu, I think.

But as Bakkels has noted it does have some drawbacks, one of which is that I'm pretty sure if you play windowed you are stuck with the game's native resolution which is not that great on a newer, higher res monitor.
