There is a "Mac" forum, that might be a better forum for an answer to your issue.

Hold down option when you start the game - you get a preferences screen where you can choose to play in a window. Multitasking is possible!

Moving to the MAC forum.  N_O_Body.

So u mean I can't tab out of game when I'm in the game?

Not when it's full screen, no. But if you open it in a window you can treat it like any other window and tab in/out of it at as much as you like. You have options for the size of the window, so you don't necessarily have to lose any resolution.

try not to do it when you're saving a city, though, as I had a problem with cities being obliterated when I popped back to my browser while saving and exiting to region. Very upsetting for all involved.

Thanks anyway...

fortunately the region itself wasn't damaged so I had enough demand to shove the roads and zones in the same places and just let it all grow the same again. but was still a bit of a pain.

hope you managed to get the game windowed.

Hi...I managed to find time to play simcity again. However when I tried playing it in window. It says error. Why?

what's the error? is there a specific message?

It only stated there Simcity 4 Deluxe has close unexpectedly. To report, to retry, cancel.

I tried retry and massage pops up again saying. To play Simcity4 Deluxe in its default setting click retry. Then the game starts.

Now I've been playing it in window so to get access to Simtropolis for tips.
