There's lots of tools available in google, but some of them simply doesnt work. Some games allow you to use command line options to run it in windowed mode (avp2 for example) others doesn't support windowed mode at all and some games are extremely hard to run in window (colin mcrae rally 05)
Here's 2 tools i attached that should help you to run single .exe games in windowed mode. single .exe ?? yes, it means that game does not use any kind of launcher. you simply click on game.exe and the game starts. if game has some kind of launcher then those tools have no effect. avp2 also has launcher, but you can bypass it with command line options (read THIS)
some games with launcher can also be launched directly by clicking on the .exe file inside game folder.
anyways you can use those tools on games that can be launched by directly clicking on .exe file.
3DAnalyzer works better, i actually didnt got DXWnd working at all, games just popped into full screen. 3DA worked ok on flatout2, but only problem is that window is unmoveable, it will be stuck on left upper corner. guess its not that big problem.
-Always use built in window mode if its available.

now in the target line add this:

-cmdfile avp2cmds.txt
Code: Select all
C:\Games\avp2\lithtech.exe -cmdfile avp2cmds.txt
go into your avp2 folder and open avp2cmds.txt with a text editor
add this
Code: Select all
+windowed 1
now click on the shortcut you made and it will run in a window.
NOTE - DO NOT use the launcher (avp2.exe) it will overwrite the avp2cmds.txt file and goes into fullscreen mode.
