Title: instant launch and minimize activated Post by: ~simaholic on September 10, 2008, 05:06:44 pm Hi there fellow insimmers
I had to format my laptop and then re install all my games, I have forgotten how to let your game launch without that launch window and also how to make my game so that I can minimize it while playing and chatting here on insim. Please help me out :-P Title: instant launch and minimize activated Post by: Trepie22 on September 10, 2008, 05:43:26 pm To do windowed mode you add ' -w' on the Target: line of the Properties of your Sims shortcut [a space + -w]. Not sure about the launcher thing^^;

rwills Trepie's way is better with the alt tab way you can't see your taskbar and also it hangs for the minimizing and maximizing. You should try it, you won't look back :) Title: instant launch and minimize activated Post by: rwills on September 10, 2008, 08:38:04 pm Quote from: ~simaholic;1374284 thanks again Trepie :D rwills Trepie's way is better with the alt tab way you can't see your taskbar and also it hangs for the minimizing and maximizing.

Just didn't want to repeat the info yet also offer an alternative should someone want it |
