Sim City 4 and running it in a window   
I've been trying to get Sim City 4 to run in a window instead of the usual 
Fullscreen mode. I have put the -w at the end of the target, even with the 
space between the exe and the -w and it's not working. It keeps booting into 
Fullscreen mode. What can I do?

By the way, I'm running a Dell Inspiron 530 Intel Core2_Duo Quad-core Windows 
Vista Ultimate 4GB Ram, ATI All-in-Wonder HD 512mb video card

Re: Sim City 4 and running it in a window   
I do appreciate the effort, but it turns out it was my error. I had to 
specify the resolution and color-mix within the command line in order to get 
it to work. THANKS!
