Windowed Mode Not Working?
Bruce Banner:
:) Try using this little prog ( http://www.borngeek.com/software/sims-launch/ ) . Personally I don't use it for launching Sims 2 but use it as an application launcher instead of using the Start Menu . But as it's name suggests it can be used to launch Sims or Sims 2 and , more importantly for you , can launch them in a window as long as you set the launch target to the latest expansion executable you have installed . It only alters the shortcut so I don't know if it'll work for you or not , but it's worth a try .

Thanks Bruce -- I've bookmarked the site in case I ever need it. Kremensch if you read this, I deleted my desktop shortcut and grabbed a new one, made the change to the target line and it's now working. Still mystifies me as to why it wouldn't before, but anyway I can now play my game in windowed mode. Although it's going to take some getting used to using the right mouse button to scroll though, lol!

Glad it's working for you. As for an explanation, sometimes gremlins just get in there and the simplest solution works.
You'll get used to it if you give it time. Then you won't be able to play it any other way, and if you really want a challenge, try playing it with a tablet because of RSI, which is something else that takes some getting used to. ;)

I must admit my ignorance now -- I have no clue what "playing it with a tablet" is; or "because of RSI" means either, lol! If you want, you can explain it to me but it you don't feel like bothering or don't want to make this thread any longer, that's okay too -- I'll just remain in the dark. ;D
