How do I windowed game?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Okay, I've seen in some screenshots that it's possible to run the game in a window (as opposed to, say, full-screen). I'd like to do this, as it'd make it easier for me to... multitask. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue as to how to go about it.

Anyone who's done it, can you tell me how? Would I have to go and adjust something in the *.ini files in the Civ4 directory?

Edited to add: Specs:

Pentium M, 1400 MHz, running Windows XP SP1. 1 GB RAM. Video card is an NVidia card that works.

Open My Documents\My Games\Civilization 4\Civilization4.ini in a text editor.

Edit the following entries:

; Specify whether to play in fullscreen mode 0/1/ask
FullScreen = ask
; 
ScreenHeight = 960

; Custom Screen Resolution, ex: 1200x1200 - Normal resolutions can be set in-game and will be used when both values are set to 0
ScreenWidth = 1270

"Ask" is nice as you get a dialog box to choose whether to use fullscreen or windowed every time you start the game.

Setting a screen height and width helps as changing the window size doesn't change the game's resolution, it only stretches it, which can screw up the mouse pointer. So set it for something that uses the dimensions on screen that you want, and then leave the window size alone when playing.
