Darn. I gather it isnt possible for someone to make a mod for this.

Alas it does not effect my gameplay just how much i will play the game.

If i could have a window mode i would also watch my computer television at the same time. This would be sweet. Skip back and forth between a WWII movie and play the game during commercials, letting it run while i watch the movie.

Is there another way to do this on a computer? Having SR2010 window mode is only way i know.

Try this: http://rigg.arrowsmash.com/software/DXWnd.rar
I havent tried it though. I've used it before with other games.

Do you have a page to send us to before we download what you are suggesting...? I like to read up before I dump something new on my computer.

from Google:
DxWnd allows you to run DirectDraw 7 (or below) fullscreen programs in a window. Requires the Visual C++ 8 runtimes.
cheers,

SR2020 - as mentioned in another recent post will run as both full screen or have an option to run as a window.

that is a great news, thanks much! :) Since SR2010 (and 2020 will certainly be at least as much than 2010) a game where you need to think twice before doing anything, being able to use notepad and excel (or similar tool) along it without "alttabing"will be very functional.

cheers,

Jan
