O.P. Full Screen to Window
Is there any program that lets you take a full screen program and make it in a window. "Mario Forever" changes resolution and makes itself full screen, I want to know if i can prevent this. there is no option in the game to do so.

RE: Full Screen to Window
umm, use a virtual box?
If it's console, use dos-box http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
For windows, you can try http://bochs.sourceforge.net, but it's not worth the hassle of setting up a virtual OS to play a game on, or the degration in speed and clarity

RE: Full Screen to Window
I use a program called Actual Window Manager that allows me to manipulate the way windows are opened and how they act etc. I'm not 100% that this will help with your full screen program but I'd definately recommend giving it a try.

erm... if you have desktop icon i think you can change it, go to the desktop, right click on the icon, select properties, then under shortcut there is a target box. At the end of the stuff in the box i think there is a thing that says
code: +menu 1 +fullscreen 1
you can simply change this to
code: +menu 1 +fullscreen 0
im not too sure if this will work with your program but it works with battlefield 2 ![:D](images/smilies/msn_grin.gif)

RE: Full Screen to Window
If you press Alt+Enter from within a game, then it will change from fullscreen to windowed mode. Not all games, but you could give it a try with Mario Forever.

Doesn't work with Mario Forever or another game I play..
I tried Actual Window Manager with Mario Forever, I get icons in the top right when in full screen but you can't click them.. And I get nothing for the other game..
I wish there was a program that was like firefox, with tabs, and instead of typing in websites you type in .exe's and you can open different games in each tab ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif)
