Win7: Window mode, Destination selection - 5/2/2011 7:01:51 PM

Hi all. Is there a work around for playing WITP in windowed mode that allows for destination selection for a task force?

I've been playing the tutorial and like to have WITP in windowed mode while I view the PDF. On an XP machine this works fine. On my Win7 machine though there is a problem I've run into. If I select a TF and then Destination Hex it will not display the proper window to select a hex and if you go ahead and select a hex it will select the wrong one because what is displayed does not match what is selected. Make sense?

I'm throwing the question out there in case someone has seen this and knows how to fix it. I'm just playing it full screen on Win7 and alt-tabbing to the PDF in the mean time.

Thanks for reading.

I may have found my solution. I've set my desktop resolution up from 1360x768 to 1440x900. I think things got a little wonky (that's legitimate�technical terminology) because the resolution for WITP is 1024x768. Having my desktop a little bigger than the window seems to do the trick for me.

Every once in a while I'd move the WITP window and touch the edges accidentally with the cursor which would trigger the automatic window resize feature of Win7. I think that is what messed up WITP being able to display properly at times.
