Having read the rules, I now realize that I need to make a new thread for this, so here it is:
I can't get windowed mode to work with the HoI2 Complete Pack from Steam. I've tried altering the shortcut Steam creates to include WINDOWED, I've tried running the exe directly with WINDOWED, and I've tried putting WINDOWED in Steam's "Set Launch Options" box. Nothing works. And yes, I set my desktop color depth to 16-bit. And I tried Alt+Enter. No such luck.
I'm using a 16:10 monitor that cuts off part of the screen when trying to display 1024x768. It's not just blurry, it's incomplete. I've never been able to get fixed aspect ratio options (i.e., black-barring) to work on this system. If I can't run HoI2 in windowed mode, I can't play it.
I even tried putting eight spaces between hoi2.exe and WINDOWED in the Run dialog box, as one posted suggested. No go.
