You can enable windowed mode by creating a shortcut to GalCiv2.exe and use that to start the game.

1) Use Windows Explorer to find GalCiv2.exe.
2) Right click on GalCiv2.exe and choose create shortcut.
3) Right click on the shortcut and choose properties.
4) Click in the target field and hit end. Hit Space followed by the letter w. No switches neccesary.

Keep in mind that if GalCiv2 is running at the same resolution as your desktop, it will appear fullscreen.  The titlebar is just moved off the screen.

ALT-TAB.

What's your resolution ? If yours is max 1024*768 window mode = full screen (Or beter said, windowed but with no borders).
