NFSU Non-Fullscreen


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was just wondering if it is possible to play NFSU on the PC Non-Fullscreen, ie in a Window like you can do for most other games?

As you can tell from my sig I have a laptop so I have an LCD screen, the problem is that my LCD screen is a very high res (1920x1200) and is also widescreen. This causes a problem because, as you will know, if you run at a resolution lower than the native res of an LCD screen it looks "fuzzy". Now i don't/can't run the game at 1920x1200 res because my graphics card is not powerful enough (is any graphics card powerful enough!? :s ). i want to run it at 1024x768 or something in a Window.

How do I do this?

Thanks all

No you can not. And I dispute your "most other games" claim.

I believe it is part of DirectX games that they require full-screen to run.

Though I would hapilly be proved wrong, seeing as I have just bought a flat-screen too!

dammit looks like I am returning NFSU then :(

Oh well I got it on GC :D

Quake 3 Arena runs fine in a Window and that uses DirectX does it not :unsure:

quake is opengl based.

And Dark age of camelot which uses DirectX can be run windowed, so atleast some of them can.

I play NFSU in winowed mode all the time... just get this program.. 3d analyze or something like that and select the exe.. and make sure you click forced window mode as shown in the picture, then click run.

I have the Toshiba P25-S487 and it has a 17" widescreen. I was able to make a change in the BIOS that just told it not to stretch resolutions. Don't know if Dell has this option but worth a try.
