Window mode not working

[jimbozeubuen 0]

I went to my SimCity 4 shortcut and changed the target field to this:

"C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\SimCity 4.exe" -window -r800x600x16

My computer is running on 1152 x 864 and yet when I run the game, it runs in 800x600 fullscreen mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Your command line is mostly OK, just take out the indow after the -w.

Or, you could use full screen mode, by following the link in my signature.

Unless theres a specific reason you want windowed mode..

I am having this problem too. I know how command lines work, my current shortcut points at;

"C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -w -introff

The introduction movies are skipped as promised, but no sniff of a window, it is full screen all the way.

This is SimCity 4 Deluxe, updated to the latest patch. I am running Windows Vista (Ultimate) with SP1.

You probably are using a newer pc with "widescreen" or other larger or odd format.. add the customn resolution tag to your shortcut.

1600x1200 was in the programmes default list, but even with a custom resolution (any and all I have tried, regular square resolutions as well as wide ones) it still runs in fullscreen.

Did you start the game with the shortcut? You must do that at least once to set it.
