wondering if I can play Loco in a window...

Nope.

That is one of two biggest disappointments. I'd love to play Loco in windowed mode. I don't understand - Old RCT1 supports window mode - RCT2 doesn't! TTD does - Loco doesn't? I had no problem with RCT1 and TTD running in windowed mode at all.

Come on CS - XP loves playing games in windowed mode - We should have a choice whether we'd like to use full screen or window mode like RCT1.


( Just in case you are wondering what my other dissapointmet is - it is the size of map - yes many of people have complained about it but I'll shut up)

Why playing in windowed mode?
You can do Alt\Tab.

I understand that ALT & TAB can be so useful but I'd have to ALT & TAB every few seconds to talk to friends on MSN etc. That is the reason why I'd love to play Loco in windowed mode. During the day I'd not mind playing it in full screen, but unfortunately I'm too busy to play it. Mostly I play it in the evenings, but that time my loads of friends signing in on MSN and would like to talk to me. Window mode'd cure that kind of problem.

I find this mildly irritating as well. On my Dual head PC, it makes the second screen useless, since you can't get to it by mouse, and it does nasty things with the second head's graphics...

Only solution I can think of is to run Loco on another PC with a smaller native resolution and VNC into that box to play...

I haven't played Loco yet but have you tried pressing Alt+Enter? That's the default schortcut for swapping between full screen and window.

have you tried running it in something akin to virtual pc or the like? ie running the game in a subshell? and then just running that subshell in windowed mode?
