Many thanks... Took me a while to see BoA could run in a window (have to be running a scenario to get access to preferences, can't do it from main menu). And those older Avernum's are just plain great so that's a lot of adventuring right there. Too bad all of the GF's are forced fullscreen. :( Seems like the newer games should have more options and features but the reverse is proving to be true? Has there been any mention of the 4 forced fullscreeners allowing windowed mode in a future patch? Thanks again! Posts: 3 | Registered: Saturday, March 18 2006 08:00 |

Alt Tab and Ctrl Esc both work to get me to desktop and I can resume game and let it take fullscreen again but it still doesn't solve my problem of wanting the game open in a window while also letting me see other things on the screen at the same time (email, chat, etc). I do notice all of the games so far are taking 99% of CPU load (if I switch back to desktop). Are none of the older games run in windowed mode? I could have sworn a few were (just didn't want to download every single demo to find which ones did). Posts: 3 | Registered: Saturday, March 18 2006 08:00 |

First time poster long time reader. After playing a demo here and there over the years of Spiderweb games (an Exile here, a Geneforge there), I was in the mood for some more extended playing and was thinking of buying one of the newer ones, like G3 or A4. Much to my dismay both of those, as well as Blades which I also tried, all forced themselves into full screen mode. I am constantly working or chatting on the desktop and absolutely cannot have a game be fullscreen. Is there a reason why it must be set to a specific resolution and color depth? I could have sworn at least one of the older games did allow you to run it windowed. Do any Spiderweb games currently allow this? I'd probably just go with one of the older ones if it did allow you to run it in windowed mode. And, any chance all of these can be made windowed in the future? If not, why? Many thanks in advance.
