Can Civ III be run in a window?

[geniemalin]

(I use a PC with Windows 2000 Professional)

Is there any way to run Civ III in a window rather than full-screen mode? Am I missing something really obvious like a preference setting?

[Brundlefly]

No, I don't believe that is possible.

...hmmm

Is there any cunning and subtle way around this that someone with computer skills might know (virtual machines or running a second OS or similar?)

OK, theoretically, if you ran it through Linux on an emulator, it *might* be possible. But that would be so painfully slow...

And in Windows, definitely no way to get Civ 3 in a window.

No need to male it that difficult Solver.

You can sort of, although personally I fail to see why, the windows key works perfect.

Anyway, try this:

Thanks!

(THough why running in a window isn't standard for games in a supposedly Windows environment beats me...)

The Windows key is a different thing. You can easily minimize the game and multitask. That's what I've been always doing...

Well, up until C3C, it certainly wouldn't run in a window .

The Windows key is really no different from alt-tabbing.
