I'm looking for a program that can run games that "dont" have an option for "Windowed Mode" to run in a window anyway. Sorta like useing Virtual PC to run games, but less resource hoggy. (i used to do that sometimes..)

No, I'm pretty sure there aren't any programs that will let you do this for *all* games. Some have the option programmed in, some have special flags like Diablo II, and some have programs made specifically for one game like EverQuest. As for the rest, you will probably just have to run them in full screen :( I like running games in Windowed Mode too and wish there was something to get all of them to run like that.

well ive just added -w to the end of the command line for a few of my games but im not sure if that will work for all games. i.e- "game.exe" -w ((you need the space))

Why do you want your games in Windowed Mode anyway? Isn't fullscreen better?

Some people like to do a lot of things at once O.o
