Default I hope i've put this in the right forum, but advice needed.

I would like to have the option of playing FM2008 on a minimized window, but everytime I try to take away the full-screen option, it says that my computer doesn't allow it - which it should as it's a new computer with a decent graphics card. Is there something else I haven't done? Thanks.

Right mouse clip on your FM2008 shortcut icon and go to properties.

In the target box paste the following;

"CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\fm.exe" --small_screen --windowed

This will make it into windowed mode :thup:

Argh, that's what I thought, but it won't let me put ANYTHING in the target box.

I'm running vista so I don't know if there is something different to do.

Thanks for the help though...

Exactly what it says is...

Warning!

Changing the screen settings failed. Make sure your system supports the settings.

Ah, got it.

Just changed my screen resolution to 1280 x 1024.

Sorted now.
