Play Games in Small Screen

Wanna Play Games in Small Screen to avoid being caught in office or school...
Here some tricks you can try out..

Most of the games can be played in windowed mode. however some Microsoft games are not designed that way.
Try this........................

Place a shortcut of the game on your desktop.

Then...
Right Click on the shortcut and click on properties.
Now you will be on the shortcut tab.
Which will probably look like





















Now in the Target after the Location of the Game just ADD
-w after the apostrophe with a space in between
for Eg.
"C:\game\Game1.exe" -w
and that should start the game in windowed mode.

Thats one way of starting the game in windowed mode

or you can also try using Alt + Enter combination works on some games.

But the best tool i found so far was the D3dwindower.

Now this is an Japanese program . you wont understand any of the Options
However i will show how i managed to play Age of mythology on the internet.

First of all you will need the program.
download link : D3D Windower
 its in rar format you will require something like winrar.

extract all the files in one folder and run this particular program.
D3DWindower-English.exe
you will get a windows which looks something like this















and now comes the hard part


Click on the Plus sign and add the particular game you wanna play in windowed mode.


Once you have the program listed in .
try to start it by click on the Computer icon
*** third icon from the Right ***

If the game doesn't start
close application and try again ..
it should work.

and yeah for age of mythology you will have to go to options page
***second option from the right***
( the folder icon with tools on it )

its should look something like this.














Make sure all the option are checked in that window only for " WINDOW MODE " Tab. as illustrated above

and to start the game click on the name of the game on the list and then click on the computer icon ( third from the right )
and it should start the game in windowed mode.

you might feel a lil bet of missed accuracy with the mouse.
currently trying to find a fix for it .
email me or leave a post.

Enjoy
