craigy18181 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I play full screen windowed mode yeah i do this to, works a treat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zikerek Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I play windowed mode, but I have also resized window to fit monitor why? Because I am talking on msn in same time and it's annoying that FM get minimalized each time I switch window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattyg Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I play full screen windowed mode lol yeh me too. I find it annoying having to alt + tab all the time as i'm always looking around on the internet whilst playing fm, so it just makes more sense to have it in windowed mode.

scottnmcleod Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I play windowed mode so i can be on her at the time. I stretch the window to fill my screen though obviously. Just the same apart from you have the start bar along the bottom to browse between windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razer82 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Windowed mode all the way. Then I can be on the internet / MSN at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase1982 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Fullscreen. It was however better to play windowed on my PC before I increased the ram because every time I'd minimize the game from fullscreen it would conflict with Vista causing my PC to slow down. That was FM2008. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InzieBear Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 thats what i was thinking!! actually i dont undetstand what this windowed mode thing is? i watch the 3D game on the classic view so i can easily go to the tactics and player ratings. is this the same thing?

InzieBear Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i mean how can anyone look at the internet at the same time as playing FM? Unbelievable. I dont even like playing after a few drinks as it messes with my mind and i make rash decisions. focus is the word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters76 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'ld like to be on HER at the same time as playing FM, but she wont let me!!!;) I think SI is looking into this for the 9.2.0 patch, it it obviously a bug! They will make it 25-35% more likely that will happen while playing 9.2.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, no. It means running the game in a window, so you have your windows startmenu and taskbar available. so when you press continue on FM you can press the internet explorer window at the taskbar and do some quick forum trolling while the game processes to the next game.

InzieBear Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 aaaaahhh!! thanks Butters76, i always knew i was a bit of computer dunce. When i play FM it fills my screen and i dont know how to 'minimise' the game without saving it and quitting the game. How can you minimise the gmae without losing it? thanks sorry for being so thick here. ps. the only reason i have a pc is for internet and to play FM.
