actually theres 3 ways but 3rd is not practical.


1.- Download and Install VMware or VirtualPc (i prefer vmware), install windowsxp or the OS of your choice there, install war2combat, there. you have war2combat running in a window.


2.- Under linux, anything is windowable on that OS.


These 2 i have done myself, they are not theories. and actually the #1 I did a few hours ago.


3.- Have 2 computers, the one with war2combat must also have teamviewer installed, then use your other computer to connect to teamviewer.. in a window.

this one i have also done but not dared to play with. it implies more bandwidth and more good hardware on both computers. Razz

Pretty sure you could do it simply by adding -w or -window at the end of a shortcut's properties. I've done it like that in the past.

Yes, you can use run it in Windowed mode if you use custom. It has a config file already set up for that.

you can also set custom to wash your dishes, do the laundry, clean the house and do your shopping.
It will need your credit card details for the shopping though.
