You know, playing at work....

In fact I was looking for a way to play it windowed too.

So bad it can't be possilbe.

I play it at work at times too.

I just end up alt+tab ing in and out of Civ 3. It works really well for me on my laptop. I agree it would be very nice if you could window it.

I seem to remember in CivIII (PTW as well IIRC) that you could force it to play at a resolution lower then your monitor.

This would effectively create a "windowed" Civilisation but without the minimise, maximise and exit buttons on the top left corner.

Is this not a method? (cant for the life of me remeber how i did it though...)

depends upon what you mean by windowed mode, but if you set

KeepRes=1
VideoMode=1024

and then set you moniter to 1280 (or whatever), Civ3 will stay in a (non-traditional) window. That's how I play...
