Thank you all for your help.SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition includes the bestselling SimCity 4 and the all-new SimCity 4 Rush Hour Expansion Pack. 1920x1080, 1440x1080, and even 1680x1050 still won't load in a window, not even with the larger monitor set as my primary.Īnyway, I'm happy enough with where it is now. It seems that anything other than the game's default resolution options forces it to load in fullscreen as well. I still haven't quite gotten the custom resolution thing to work properly for me though. So apparently it won't load in windowed mode unless the dimensions of your primary display are larger than that of the window (which might sound like common sense, but I've never had that problem with other games or programs!). But anything larger forces fullscreen again. So I thought I'd see what would happen if I made the 1920x1080 screen my primary display, so that the game would load up on it rather than the laptop, and found that I can load in windowed mode either the 1024x768 or 1200x1024 resolution (which still isn't quite what I was looking for, but it will do fine). Since the game always loads up on my primary (even though, if it is a window, I can drag it right over to the secondary), anything larger than the 1024x 768 resolution forces fullscreen on the laptop. The primary display is a 1366x 768 laptop. I failed to mention in my original post that I have a dual monitor setup (since I'm trying to load the game in a window, and I can drag windows from one screen to the other, I didn't think it would make any difference). If the Y dimension of the window is too close, or larger, than the Y dimension of the screen resolution, it forces the game to start in fullscreen regardless.

If so, how? I'm running Windows 7, 64bit. ![]() ![]() I can play in windowed mode fine at 1024x768 resolution, but anything larger than that, it ignores the command to load in a window, and forces fullscreen. When I try to edit the shortcut target to tell it to load a custom resolution larger than 1024x768 (or, even if I load the game and select the 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 resolution in the options panel), it forces the game to load fullscreen. I have edited the "Target:" in the SimCity 4 shortcut on my desktop to tell it to load in windowed mode, however, my problem is that when I do this, it automatically loads the window at 1024x768 resolution, which looks pretty small on my screen. I have a large screen resolution (1920x1080 on 23" monitor), and I still want the window to be able to take up at least most of the screen. I'm wanting to play SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition in windowed mode in order to be able to keep up easily with other things I'm doing online while playing.
