Is there a way to run a full screen program, like a game, in a windowed or shelled mode. I thought the command -w would do it but it is not working. it just starts in full screen mode.

Depends on how the game is programmed. I take it you mean a DOS standard game?

Actually it runs in windows. I tried forever searching google and the likes and haven't come up with anything. I am starting to think it is not possible .

I've moved this post to the echo lounge since I think it's more of a general topic rather than PHP.

Do the docs for the game say that the switch -w will make it run in moduled mode? If you run it from DOS with -w, will it run in this mode?
