Windowed Mode Question
Greetings fellow MTW fans, I was wondering if any of you could help me with a problem. I wish to run MTW in windowed mode so that I can play it and World of Warcraft simultaneously. I found the command for running the game in a debug window, but it requires setting my desktop to 16 bit colour. Is there a way to run this windowed without having to mess around with my desktop settings every time I want to play?

Yes: by leaving your desktop in 16bit colour mode
okay, bad one....but I have no clue eitherIf the game says it requires 16bit in windowed mode, I guess it has to be.

Try alt+tab - maybe this is the solution (I don't know WoW, so I have no idea how that runs)

Re: Windowed Mode Question
I've never tried to run MTW in a window, so I don't know if it works. You will have to set the desktop colour depth to 16bpp though if the game requires it, there is no way to run a windowed Direct3D session is a different colour depth to your desktop.
(I didn't realise that MTW didn't use 32bpp! Or maybe that's only in windowed mode?)

Re: Windowed Mode Question
Bleh, I'm not going to change my desktop just to play it windowed. :(
And I seriously doubt my pc could handle RTW windowed at the same time.

All in the name of jokes. But I wouldn't have a clue about windowed mode, I didn't even know it was possible.Quiet, you!
(I have plenty of friends who play WoW, and they have ruined their lives. At least M:TW is not so addictive.)
