LittleTaffer on 26/1/2007 at 13:23

As the title goes...well I multitask a lot on my PC, I was wondering if anyone knows whether Thjief 1 & 2 can be played in Windowed mode?

Really appreciate the help, thanks. :)

Short answer is no. A search would yield you this answer as it has been brought up many times.

These days, it might be possible to run it through a third party shell app, but I don't know of one that would handle it off hand. I use (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/) DOSBox to play (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Magic) Master of Magic, and can do so in a window (unlike back in the day).

Probably you just need to do some hex fix in the main exe.

I know games with works with just that.

But i dont know much about patching exes.

Wow. Touchy, aren't you?

I DID do a search, but I must have overlooked when checking the stupidly long list of non-related title results. THAT'S why I popped out the question.

If you're so particular about taffers asking for help then you shouldn't bother answering at all.

Just curious but what did you search for?

I used Advanced Search > Restrict to Thief Series > Search term 'windowed mode' > Show results as posts and got a whole bunch of related results

I did a Google search, which turned up results like this from the Eidos Forums.

Upon reading your reply, David, I did a second Google and saw this.

I tried looking for a Technical Help section over in the main window, but there wasn't any. I figured it would be no biggie to just simply ask outright.

Very friendly forum, here, indeed. </sarcasm>

Why not use the forums own (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/search.php) search function?

Since you put it so nicely, David, thank you. I will.
