How do you run game in a window???

[latinogroove]

Fellas, quick question...

How do you run the game in a window on your desktop, without it going to a full screen? Thanks...I just want to run the game in a smaller window.

Don't think you can in this game.

We gotta figure this out guys, I'd be doin franchise everytime im on the computer if it ran in a window. The game can run in a window cause when I was playin it once my norton internet security did a pop up and the game was in a window until I went to another menu

[Mondo]

in my documents/hwconfig.cfg we've got

r_hardwaresettings.nVideoMode 7
r_hardwaresettings.nScreenWidth 1280
r_hardwaresettings.nScreenHeight 1024
r_hardwaresettings.nScreenBPP 32
r_hardwaresettings.bGammaSupport 1
r_hardwaresettings.fGammaValue 0.6000
r_hardwaresettings.nTextureFilterType 8
r_hardwaresettings.bVSync 0
r_hardwaresettings.bTripleBuffer 1



r_hardwaresettings.bFullscreen 1 or 0 does nothing

Maybe its just window instead of fullscreen

That;'s interesting.
Maybe get something to pop up every 5 minutes or something

r_hardwaresettings.bWindow 1 or 0 does nothing
r_hardwaresettings.bWindowMode 1 or 0 does nothing
r_hardwaresettings.bWindowedMode 1 or 0 does nothing

For the record Madden 2004 uses Windowed Mode Yes/No

It sucks that they can use windowed for frachise mode but we can't.. wtf

[chipper]

try changing all three values at once, not just one by one.
let us know if it works.

normally it's faster in windowed mode. it will be fantastic

I did it by accident last night. I wish I knew how to reproduce it to tell you. I can't say that I ran the game in windowed mode, but I was in the EASO lobby in windowed mode. Windowed mode is not for me, so somehow I got back to fullscreen.

there was a thing for that in Max Payne (1).
i don't quite remember how to do it, but once i get home, i could look it up and check if it works for NBA Live...

I want it for Franchise mode really, so I can use the computer for other stuff while it's going, not fair madden can and we can't.

umm, has any1 tried pressing the windows button, that mkaes the start menu pop up, it just brings the screen down and you can do other things, right now live is running but i'm typing this message

[Mondo]

Yes, doesn't work CTRL ESC, ALT ENTER none of that stuff works

you're just alt tabbing, I'm talking about running the game in a window aka the game is still playing on your desktop while your doing other stuff

[Andreas Dahl]

the thing i thought could have a chance, didn't work... to bad.

Mondo, you sure you can't accest the desctopp while playing? check again if it works to push [Ctrl]+[Esc], or [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] (that one for Windows XP only)
