Hello, i am a big fun of AoE, and i have the first one, and want to play it in windowed mode, is it possible?
I have looked all around the web, and found several key combinations, like Ctrl+Enter, Tab+Enter, Alt+Enter etc and none did it.
In Halo CE, i can put on the shortcut Target the switch ( -windowed ) and it works great, but i have tried several switches on AoE like -windowed, -w, -window, and nothing.
The objective is to play it as a multiplayer at work, and you now that its not good to play it as fullscreen mode.
Thanks very mutch

I don't think that it can be done at all. For one thing, the game uses colours differently than Windows - you can't make a screenshot with the default Windows method (PrintScreen). Don't forget that the game is ten years old - it doesn't support current screen resolutions too.

Thanks, but my intent is not make a print screen, and yes to play it as windowed mode.

I was explaining why it can't be played in windowed mode - if AoE displays colours differently than Windows, then you can't have AoE side by side with a Windows app, even if it's only the Windows desktop.
