Hey guys,

I'm used to running all my games and such in windowed mode and I've tried everything to do that with Tiberian Sun. Any ideas as to how to do so? I've already tried running the program through prompt with -win and received a message stating "This product requires a 16bit pixel depth.

Have you tried what I described with putting " -win" in the shortcut?

Algarwolf, have you tried changing your resoultion from 32bit to 16bit? If you have XP. right click the desktop click properties, go to the settings tab and change.

That surprisingly worked! Thanks hefeweize!

Now to create a shortcut so that I can switch between 16 and 32 faster.

This doesn't work for me. Does windows 8 make a difference?

Algarwolf, have you tried changing your resoultion from 32bit to 16bit? If you have XP. right click the desktop click properties, go to the settings tab and change.

 

Or, compatibility > run in 256 colors.

 

@appledrop just add -win at the end of your ra2 shortcut's target line.
