Run game as window

[Particle]

Is it possible to make a very simple AutoIt3 program that I can load a game into it so the game is running as a window? (Game.exe can be the example)

[Bert]

depends. Is the game based on flash, or a stand alone type like Halo?

i think it's a stand alone type game:

(examples: starcraft, battlefield 2, black and white, the sims 2, etc.)

Any 3d game that runs fullscreen has to offer a windowed mode, some games you can just hit Alt+Enter once they are running to trigger windowed mode (Quake, Call of Duty). Battlefield 2 requries a modification to the shortcut to run in windowed mode.

Try this:

; Move Game.exe to the top left corner and make its size 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high
WinMove("Game.exe", "", 0, 0, 640, 480)

but is there a way where i can maybe press a load button and click on any game i want and it loads into the window or somethin? there are some games out there that don't allow windowed style(i think).

What about maplestory? Maplestory doesn't let you play in windowed mode.. Therefore, you must have a third-party program to force it to do so. Is there a script for that ? The script Tasmania give doesn't works.
