If you right click on the icon and choose properties you can edit the command used to launch the game.

As I say though, I haven't tested this so no guarantees...

Just tried it out and it doesn't work, you get a fatal error and the game won't start.

I'm starting to suspect it's just not possible... :(

it is possible! just found out that you have to edit the medieval.preferences in C:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\ and add "windowed = true" in the video section. at least it worked for me

Thank you very much, kind sir!

Indeed, the windowed = true edit works for me as well

Funny thing, though... I have to edit the config file every time I start M2TW!

If I boot the system and use Notepad to look at a fresh copy of the file, that line windowed = true has disappeared.

Too weird! Anyone else find this to be true?

Guys,

Sorry to be such a noob, but how do I get the line "Delyn's Avatar" to NOT appear in my forum postings? I've looked all around the User CP and cannot find a switch

Yeah I can confirm this. Doesn't matter much to me anymore though, I decided to keep playing fullscreen, because scrolling in windowed mode is quite annoying.. well.. nearly impossible actually.

To me it's just an avatar, nothing seems wrong.
