Wilhelm Heidkamp Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Do anyone of you know any option to play CM,s (CMBO, CMBB and CMAK) in windowed mode in Windows XP? I need to change from the fullscreen to window mode, but all I have tried didn't work. Thanks in advance. Willy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 CMBO runs in vmware in software render mode in a window, that the only direct way I know about. However, if you use VNC it works and you have it in a window. Of course that means you need to have an actual Windows box somewhere in your datacenter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 VNC is a remote desktop software. So you can have a Windoze box somewhere in a closet and the screen from that box as a window on your real computers. Doesn't run very fast, of course, but allowed me to answer PBEM moves.

GreenAsJade Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Can you VNC to your own machine, thereby having a window? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 No. VNC is remote desktop software. It doesn't run a virtual machine, it just allows someone else to view/access the existing desktop. Sort of like Remote Assistance for XP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Might actually work by using a dual-head video setup, with no monitor connected to the head where CM runs full-screen, then on the other head you have your windowed environment. Problem is that you need a separate set of keyboard and mouse for the second screen. Not sure Windoze supports this. On Unix/Linux you can run a full second X11 server on the second head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
