Can Civ3 be run in a Window?

The subject basically says it. I would like to be able to quickly minimize my game during business hours for obvious reasons.

You're just going to have to tell them it's a really funky wallpaper.

Damn it, they aren't paying you to play Civ!

As far as i know, it can't be run in a window, but u can switch to your desktop fast.

Just get a website maximized on your desktop, when the ass-in-tie walks in hit the windows key on your keyboard and quickly make the explorer window ur main screen by clicking on it.

U have to practise this, but it works fine...

Simple ALT-TAB works fine too.

Alt + Tab. All you need is another program open. I find Windows Explorer or Outlook to be handy enough.

Alt + Tab scrolls through the open windows.

Are you guys hiring

Hah! Last week I was thinking the same thing, Alt-Tab never worked on my home computa so I figured you couldnt - but you guys have already solved that problem. So instead I installed Civ1, now I play that and can quickly Alt-Tab out of it in an instant!

Some of us "ass-in-ties" play CIV3 too! And we're on to your little tricks.
