Hi all! I am new member here, I apologize if posting in wrong section.
I really really need help to play a game in window mode. The game is "Fifa Online 2", a multiplayer football game using Fifa07 engine. I can use the game menu in window mode, but I can't play a match in Window Mode -what I would like very much and it would be very helpful for me-

Someone modified some Notepad files, and succeeded making the game running in window mode, but after recent updates, it doesn't work anymore.

So, I will upload those files, and if someone can/know how to make it work again I will be very very grateful!

Is it supposed to be possible to play it in windowed mode? The patch may have been to make that impossible.

The game doesn't have any option/settings to play a match in window mode, but it seems that some guy managed to "hack" those 3 files. All I have to do was to replace the original files (with those 3 modified) using copy-paste while the game was running (had to do this after every login)
If helps with something, files locations: Game/Fifa Online2/DATA/CMN
If you need any additional informations please let me know

It sounds like the patch was to prevent that.

That's sad :(
Maybe the video card can be forced to run the game in window mode? or change some settings to do this? I have ATI Radeon HD 3600 series
I'm not great at this and may I say nonsense... and therefore I'm asking on Codecall Forum. People here are very skilled :D

You could try running it in wine under linux, to get windowed mode. I did that for StarCraft.

On windows you can force window mode by typing -window on the shortcut for the file that starts the game (usually on start menu). It's something like this for example:

(this is on the properties of the shortcut)

path: c:\programs\starcraft\starcraft.exe -window

i'm not sure if it is -window or -windows (i can't try because i don't have windows installed right now), try both. Usually this works, i have tried in many games that didn't even supported windowed mode, and it worked!
