Is there a way to launch GalCiv as a window?

Hi,
Is there a way to play the game in a window, versus full screen? I'll like to be able to switch back and forth to other programs while playing.
Running vista dual core. No major problems (well, sound quality is poor and the game freezes ocassionally).

Simply uncheck the Fullscreen box in the video options and restart the game.

Note that if you leave it set to your desktop resolution, it'll still *look* fullscreen, but you'll get the benefits (and any performance hit) of windowed mode.
