I was wondering if it was possible to set up H5 in Windows Mode.

according to mistweaver:

In user.cfg file change:
setvar gfx_fullscreen = 1
to:
setvar gfx_fullscreen = 0

that should allow you to run in windowed mode.

The resolution of your Windows desktop has to be higher than that of the game or it'll kick you back into full screen. It can't display a window that's bigger than the screen.

Ok, so I put the resolution of the game to 800x640 and I still can't get it into windows mode.

make sure you are editing the user.cfg file found in your profile directory, not in the game directory.

past that...

Had the same problem, do the opposite of what Sir_Toejam said and it should be fixed.
