Well, my friend wants to be able to have a game that he plays in a smaller window so that he can still see the hotbars on the bottom of his screen that tell him his core-temp etc
Is there a way to make the game always open at about 800 x 600 res?

(11 posts)i would think it depends on the game, because wouldnt the setting have to be made in the game? that or you would have to "reprogram" the game, and go into the software... which i have no idea how to do...
sorry, i dont "THINK" it is possible... but i dont know, mabey it is...
hey aleeve... you said "Is there a way to make the game always open at about 800 x 600 res?"... you say "always" like he does it everytime he opens the game, and hes getting tierd of doing it manualy... if he has done it before manualy, how did he do it... mayby that will play a factor (or maby im just reading into this too much...)
It sounds like you don't want the game to run at 800x600 resolution but rather you want the game to run in windowed mode where the game appears in a window on the desktop.
I'm not sure how you would do it in that game though.
For some reason many of the newer games seem to be without the windowed mode option.
thats what i was thinking jd, but like you said, most dont come with that feature anymore... and im not sure how that would work for a first person shooter, because how would you look left and right if your cursor is going off screen. (im trying my best to explain it here...) i dont think it would work... i think thats the reason they dont give the function. because most people wouldnt use it, and it wouldnt work like you want it too. i would say it a impossible task without downloading anything, or entering some registry hacks or something...
