If I'm playing a PC game at a lower resolution than my laptop's screen, is it possible to view the game in a window if the game doesn't specifically offer the option to do so?

This trick doesn't work for all games, but I suppose it can't hurt to give it a try:

- Find the shortcut of the game you want windowed.

- Rightclick -> Properties

- You'll see a dialog box marked "Target." At the very end of the string in that field, add "- window" without the quotes.

Ideally, this will allow you to play windowed. But like I said, it doesn't work in all games. Hopefully it'll work on yours. =]

Didn't work, but thanks anyway.

I would try Alt+Enter.

If that fails, you're kinda screwed. :\

Nope, that didn't work either. Oh well.
