Re: Want to force game to run in window

I would check the "Options" of the game and set it to run in your
monitor's default resolution. Also, go to the game website and get
any updates/patches available for it. While there, I would check
their FAQs and user forums. Perhaps it's a known issue and they
(Vendor) have posted instructions to resolve it.
