Is there a program that launches games in windowed mode? I know there's [url=http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=603613]this[/url] but it doesn't seem to work. I also know that you can add -window to the shortcut of a game but that doesn't work for some games like Fallout 1/2.

DXWnd
In the shortcut, right-click, properties, you'll see Target, add "-window" at the end.

Read the OP.
Oh, I'm used to seeing launch options, and not many people know about adding parameters to the shortcut.

Isn't that just for Maple Story? It doesn't seem to be working with Fallout.

All I see is a twilight fag.
DxWnd works on some games not all but some.
As far as I've read you can't play Fallout 1/2 in windowed mode, atleast not without making it really unstable.
Shift+F4 / ALT+Enter does for some games.
Also I know you tried -window, but did you try -window[B]ed[/B] and -w?

Tried window and w but not windowed although I doubt that would work.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff I played through all of Fallout 2 in windowed mode about a year ago. Let me find out how I did it.

[code]1. Go into your fallout 2 directory, open the notepad file called 'ddraw'.
2. Scroll down to where it says [Graphics]
3. At the bottom of the 'section', there is a variable called 'MODE='
4. If you want to read the paragraph above in the section, and figure out what the modes do, go ahead, but I found that modes 1 and 5 take a huge performance hit. 3 works fairly well, but like I said in the paragraph above, No movies, and you can't move it, or re-size it. Modes 2 and 4 are NOT windowed modes.
5. Anyways, for windowed mode, go ahead and change the number from the default (I think it was 1 or 0), to 1, 3, or 5. (3 being recommended)
6. Save, and open Fallout 2.[/code]
I've seen a screenshot of someone doing it with that D3DWindow thing but it doesn't work at all for me.
i thought things like -window etc were program specific.. They're not going to work for everything. Probably only source games for sure.

Not only source games, just games that support windowed mode.

Doesn't work on the GOG edition :(

No it's program specific
You might as well download the Fallout hi-resolution mod from No Mutants Allowed and set it to your monitor's native resolution, but I'm not sure if it'll work on your digitally downloaded copy.

It worked. I guess this is better then nothing. Thanks :D
You can press Alt+Enter. It works on some games.
wxHnd or 3DAnalyze, I suppose.
Your best bet is D3DWindower, fuckin awesome program.
