Question on playing in Window

from GalCiv2 Forums
When I deselect fullscreen and restart the game I do get a window but there is no title bar and the window is nearly full screen. I can't resize the window and the only real difference is that the task bar will pop up.

I am using window blinds. Could that be a problem? Before anyone thinks that is a silly question, the Stardock distributed Deciples is not compatable with WB on my computer.

You need to ensure that the resolution is set to be below that of your desktop.

For me, if I wish it to run in a window, I will set the game to 1024x768 whilst my desktop resolution is at 1280x1024. Otherwise I experience the same problem as yourself.

I can't seem to go under 1024x768 in the game and my comp can't go over 1024x768 sooo.... what do i do?

1024*768 is minimum.
Even if you would have bigger dektop resolution: window mode does not mean that you have a resizeable game window. It's still without a border, but you can switch tasks faster and use aother progs simultaenously.

I had to use 1152x864 and it works fine but no option to go full screen or resize. I gues the graphic demands are too great to allow a lot of switching.

Oh BTW I do have a border, title bar, etc, but the window size is fixed.
