full screen / windowed - I want to decide!

I have a duel winXP/win7 system and when I first ran SH3 on win7 the game only started in a window and I spent a week trying to make it full screen. The problem I think was caused by installling the ATI drivers before a variety of win7 fixes were downloaded. Once I uninstalled and reinstalled the ATI drivers (10.5) I now get fullscreen but I've lost the windowed mode!

I had an idea to see if I could get a duel window env running by starting two windowed instances, the forums mention adding -w or -window to the command line but neither seem to work. It obviously possible from my previous expereince so I'll just keep on looking around. I'll have a play with the ATI 10.5 and 10.6 drivers to see if I can reproduce the window mode.
