no full-screen?

No.

But do you see a key on the bottem of the key board? It is in between alt and ctrl (control).

 

Press it during play and it should minimize it.

It should work, but it might not. Try it.

 

Edit -You could also hold down alt, then press tab.

I've played the Geneforge games on Win98, XP, and Vista. None of them has a windowed mode. I wish it did so I could keep an eye on the time; some of us have to stop for sleep. (I once played until 3A.M., local time, without realizing it.)

 

EDIT: Iffy - I've long since tried your suggestions. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they don't work.

That guy is using a Vista.

I have Vista Home, I think.

Yes, I do have a watch (I'm wearing it now, in fact), but when I'm on the computer, I prefer to just look at the clock in the system tray. Much quicker for me.

I know what you mean. I've come to the conclusion that the Geneforge series wasn't coded for windowed play.

Don't give up!

 

I'm trying to get creative here and thinking you might consider running a virtual machine on Vista which can then run in a window. It sounds complicated but its really not.

 

If you look at the screenshot below, you'll see how the "full screen" Geneforge 1 would actually be in a window as a virtual windows session.

 

Try the free download of Virtual PC 2007.

 

Or, perhaps there is a good Mac OS emulator that could also be run in a window, and you could download the Mac version! smile

 

OR...you could do a remote desktop connection to a laptop running Geneforge in fullscreen...

 

I can't think of a reason why this would not work for you. It's not like Geneforge is a fast-paced graphic wonder like Bioshock. It should run fine without lag.
