Strike Fighter 2 wont run in windowed mode?

[Eagle114th 538]

Hello everyone,

 

I am having a problem with SF2, It is not letting me to run SF2 windowed. I went to Strike Fighters 2.ini and changed windowmode = FALSE to TRUE and launched SF2 via Strike Fighters 2.exe and it is still running at full screen. I am not able to make it running windowed. I am running window 7 64 bit Ultimate, and any solution to my problem will be much appreciated.

for sfp1 it is startup.ini file change

 

[Window]

WindowMode=false ---- change to true

WindowPosX=0 ---- don't know

WindowPosY=0 ---- don't know

WindowWidth=1024 ----- change to something smaller than 1024 depends on your screen

WindowHeight=768 ------ change to something smaller than 768 depends on your screen

 

i use alt and tab to get that window and if their is a problem use ctrl and del and alt to get task manager to quit the game and change to the default the way it was before.

 

enjoy

There is one bit problem, I am running SF2 version (not SF1) and I don't see startup.ini in these folder, except for each .ini version of SF2, SF2V, SF2E, and SF2I shortcuts. But I still thank you for trying to help me though, they are much appreciated.

 

I am going to try copying StrikeFighter2.ini and paste them into StrikeFighter2 folder in 'my games -> thirdwire -> Strikefighter2 folder where mods folder goes to and see if it actually force my SF2 running windowed at 1440 x 900 resolution.

Nope, putting strikefighter2.ini into folder located in document doesn't make SF2 running windowed either. I tried alt+tabbing, it doesn't make SF2 running windowed and I also tried Alt+Enter and again, but still no windowed version of SF2. I am not sure what to do next, but I am going to keep tweaking SF2 until I get it running windowed.
