    Hi.
    I recently got and installed IWD2 and have just set everything up to work how I like it.
    However, I like to run my games in windowed mode, but IWD2 isnt running in a window no matter how many times i set it to do so (everytime i go back into the ingame menu or the config menu run from the IWD2 dir, it has always defulted back to full screen mode).
    Ive done a search on these forums, looked at all the FAQ's I could find and even in the game manual/readme files and I couldn't find any answer as to why, so thats why I am posting here.. any sugestions? :)

    [​IMG] ALT+ Enter in-game will always get you to the windowed mode. Also, in the Configuration Utility, you'll find a Window Mode selection under the Graphics tab.

    Uh.. I had written in my previous post that I had set it to windowed mode in both the ingame menu and the config utility and it keeps defulting back to full screen mode when I save the settings.

    I did try Alt+Enter and it did nothing at all.. :|
    Thanks anyway

    You could try to manually set "Full screen = 0" in icewind2.ini and then writeprotect the file.

    Well, in response to Mollusken's idea, I opened up icewind2.ini and, strangly enough, the "Full screen = X" line is already set to 0.. so I dunno.. :|, should I set it to something else?
