Hammer Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Is it possible to get CM to run in a window, instead of full screen? The reason is I run CM on a laptop with a second monitor and would like to be able to drag CM to the second monitor. I tried selecting the resolution of the second monitor duing setup, but CM still runs on the primary screen. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeWary Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 If you're running Windows, hit alt-enter to switch between full screen and a window. I don't know if CM allows this, but it's worth a shot. NOTE - This only works with graphical applications to my knowledge. BeWary 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Deleting the prefs and having your desktop (task bar, Start Menu, etc.) appear on the second monitor, CM should attempt to select the resolutions on the external monitor. This may not work though since a laptop can drive two displays (LCD and external) with one video chip (a similar situation to 'dual-head' video cards). If there were two display adapters (which there isn't on you laptop) CM could be directed to display on the secondary monitor, though I forget if it attempts this automatically or not. Unfortunately CM can't be 'window-ized' since the DirectX calls are geared for full screen display (I'm not sure how complex it would be to get a 'partial' window on the 3D screen - possibly something that DirectX isn't geared for). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
