oh u dont know how to do it in xp? u can its just as easy u just cant see your desktop so u have to do it from your control panel

control panel>display>setting>screen resolution

it stays the resolution you put it until u change it back instead of changing it every game so i guess thats better

btw open ur cp b4 cf so u can switch to it

hmm. or i realised if (while in-game) you close down your laptop and re-open it in like 5 seconds it will be black for a litl while then be windowed. i dont do this bcu the screen gets too small to hit heads lol

Your crosshair gets smaller too
More FPS and smoother gameplay.

Maybe It'll raise it to 20. 25 max. Laptops weren't really meant for gaming.

There's gaming laptops that get more fps than some desktops..

You have really big desktop icons.

The best thing about windowed mode is that pinpointing. Click on volume and everytime the volume bar goes up you know theres a ghost nearby because of its breathe, ( did this in vietnam and worked like a charm)

My monitor is to small for this.

More FPS, less lag, looks better. Higher quality.

That's not really windowed mode, though, because the game is already technically in "windowed" mode.
Crossfire doesn't use a normal directX fullscreen mode to begin with. This is why, at least in windows XP, the desktop becomes the same resolution as the game, when you alt tab out, and vsync doesn't work correctly (without a special program to force it, which may cause crashes with x-trap, and erratic smoothness even if it works).

Basically, Crossfire is playing in "windowed" mode to begin with, except that the window is stretched to fullscreen. I don't know the technical name for this mode, however. Sudden Attack and Silkroad Online use the exact same mode. Operation 7 and Combat Arms both use proper fullscreen modes, so alt tabbing causes the desktop to reset to the proper pre-game resolution, and v-sync (in windows XP) works properly.
