Well, as the title suggests, I can't seem to get Maple to run in Window Mode. I press Alt+Enter and nothing happens. I've read elsewhere that the problem can be caused by not having the right screen refresh rate, but I checked my graphics program thing and it was set at 60Hz (the screen refresh rate needed to run Window Mode). Does anyone know any way to fix this? I'm running integrated graphics off my i3 processor, if that helps.

Perhaps a software upgrade is needed on your graphics card. I'm running win 7 and the alt+enter / check box for window mode works fine.

Change the resolution of your monitor down a bit.

I'm having the same problem. I used to be able to play windowed mode, but when for some reason now I can't. I'll test it out and get back if I find the answer.

[/quote] @Cryptic: Just updated my Integrated Graphics Driver (LOL!), still can't use Window Mode. @Crytic, skarlet and cress127: So you guys never had any problems with Window Mode since installing Maple? @WolfEmoKid: My screen is currently at 1920x1080. What kind of resolution should I turn it down to? @shuichi5987: GOOD LUCK! Hopefully, you can work it out and give me a solution

I have the same problem. If I exit maple, set the res all the way down to 800x600, restart maple, then windowed mode works, and i can set the res back to 1920x1080, but if i maximize maple again, it wont go windowed mode again. I think it might be an issue with HighDef screens. What monitor do you have?

According to my graphics control panel thing, my monitor is a LG W2243, running at 1920x1080. I'm pretty sure it is a high definition screen... Can you think of any solution other than changing your resolution each time you want to go Window Mode?

My only problem is when I play maple for about 2-3 hours and pres the esc button to close some in game windows, it minimizes the game. other than that, I've had no problems with window mode. If it helps, I use 1280x1024 resolution, and just let the computer and nvidia program decide whats best.
