Vista - Gaming without Full Screen

Do you know if there is anyway i could play a game without the full screen feature? I want to do other jobs on the side without having to exit full screen so i save time.

most games have a fullscreen option (unchecking it is the way forward ) if not you could always try changing it in properties (right clcik the .exe ((launcher)) and you can alter it there)

depending on the game though you will loose alot of fps (frames per second) playing in windowed mode , what about alt/tab to minimise the game instead?

Hello yhames88,
Sometimes pressing "Alt+Enter" will change a game from full screen to windowed, and vis versa.
Try it next time your playing.
Hope this helps, let us know how it goes.

In Everquest, there is a window alt-o ( alt-oh) that has a tab for fullscreen or adjust the screen size. So some games you have to log into the game to change it from full screen.

a lot of games have a windowed-mode, which unsurprisingly runs the game in a desktop window.

the flip-side is a performance hit, and sometimes unexpected behaviour when your mouse goes out of the game window.

different games do it differently, try it and see how it goes.

are you talking about a specific game?
