I've done this before but I have no idea how I did it. It was when I was playing The Sims and you know that it normally opens up and covers the entire screen, well one of the EA customer support people told me to do something so that it was only in a small window. So now I'm trying to get this casino program to open up in a small window rather than take up the whole screen like it does, but I can't remember what I did evil ! Anyone have any ideas?

In a smaller what? Window? Can't you set it in the options to 800 by 600?

ha, it wouldn't all fit. you mean set the options for just the program for 800x600? That sounds good except how do I do that?

PS. I won't 17 bucks on that bingo site! Score!

Wow, I actually won $9.50 from bingo & the rest of the 17 from blackjack.

I know this girl who won a couple of thousand dollars at Bingo when she was 17. I've never actually played in a Bingo hall

Now, back to helping me find out how to not make this program take up the entire screen.

I think you're looking for alt + enter.

wait, i know the solution to this. you need to go into the programs shortcut, and change the target. you add -window to the end of the target after the quotations.
