Changing size of window

[patkingpin]

I have a problem where I want to play Civ in a smaller window so I can multi task. I can figure out how to get it out of full screen mode, but I cannot re-size the window. Normally I would just go to the bottom right and re-size, but the bottom right is off of my screen and I can't move it enough to get the corner.
Does anyone know any other ways?

Thanks!

did you try to first set it to a resolution that would fit your screen?

Ori,

How do I do that? I am assuming it is in the ini file somewhere. I changed it from full screen to windowed in the game options menu so I am not sure where the resolution change would be made.

thanks,
Patrick

in the civilizationIV.ini set the below to from 0 to the correct values:

; Custom Screen Height, minimum: 768 - Normal resolutions can be set in-game and will be used when set to 0
ScreenHeight = 0

; Custom Screen Width, minimum: 1024 - Normal resolutions can be set in-game and will be used when set to 0
ScreenWidth = 0

Thank you Ori, I am at work and will try this next time I get to play!

Thanks!

I'm using Vista on this PC and can also re-size from the top right corner and top and left edges. Are these on the screen/accessable or are all edges off screen? I don't have access to another PC at the moment to try on a different OS.
