Use the following as your command line: (From the library right click on the game, then pick Properties → Set Launch Options.) -sw -noborder -sw means "Start Windowed." -noborder tells Windows to not draw borders (titlebar, window buttons) around the window. You can also designate screen size (e.g. -w 640 -h 480), skip the intro video (-novideo), turn on ...

I found a consistent workaround to this issue but for the life of me I can't figure out how to login to the Stardock forum to contribute there. Maybe this'll help someone. I hope google notices the relevance. Anyway, here's how you can get the cursor to lock into the game screen: Start the game Go to options Go to the Video tab Check the "Use Window ...

Your best bet is probably going to be to run the game in Borderless Windowed mode. There are a number of mods and scripts to force the game to do this. This is the most popular one and was recommended when the question was asked here at Gaming.SE, but comments indicate it's having problems after the latest patch - presumably due to Bethesda changing the ...

It depends greatly on the game. From some games, you can CMD+Tab out, for others, not so much. (The Sims 3, for instance, allows tabbing out; Minecraft does not.) Most games, however, support switching display mode on the fly; after which they can generally always be tabbed out of (WoW is like this; so I'm guessing Starcraft II is too); and usually this is ...

You might be able to do it using F7 or FN+F7: I believe that the standard F7 key is to change display modes when hooked up to an external monitor or projector. It should look like this with a helpful ambiguous icon:

I have a GT 540M chipset with 314.07 drivers and have encountered this issue as well. Anytime I run any game full-screen, the display becomes completely unresponsive and I have to put my laptop in standby mode to minimize it. I discovered that turning V-sync on through the game config files or by forcing V-sync on through the nVidia Control Panel fixes this ...

In a post on the Nexus forum, a user suggests changing which monitor is your "primary": I have a set up with a 22" LCD and a 32" TV linked up to the same Nvidia card, running in dual screen. I just set the primary monitor to the TV and so all games default to that. Picking the right resolution in a lot of slightly older games is a real pain, but most of ...

Using google i came upon this page: Full screen app mode doesn't play wel with external displays. Now this is only with fullscreen apps but I think it might be the same problem. Reading a bit futher in the comments i found this : Just go into System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement and move the white menu bar strip to the external monitor’s ...

If you use Full Screen (Windowed Mode), you will be switch to other applications with both CMD+TAB or Exposé (4-fingers downward swipe on the TouchPad). I'm doing this myself on my MacBook Pro and it works like a charm; I have no problems switching applications or viewing the Desktop whatsoever.
