I:\Games\AACW\ACW\Settings\Display.opt

Values set up as follows:

ScreenWidth = 1024
ScreenHeight = 768
ScreenDepth = 16
ScreenFrequency = 60
Cursor = Hardware
FullScreen = 0
Windowed = 1
Borderless = 1

In my case, I have an LCD and CRT hooked up to a single video card. If you configure your displays in dual view mode (independent operation), then after starting the game on the primary display (LCD), you can move the game window to the CRT (running at 1024x768). Effectively, I get the game running full screen on my CRT at 1024x768 while my my windows desktop at 1600x1200 is fully available on the LCD.

I hope that helps.

Or, much easier, go to the AGESettings start menu option and use the display tab. :)

Ok, tried both of those

I get a windowed mode box with the game, but its glued to the centre of my main monitor (I have a dual monitor display). I cannot find any way of moving it - normally a simple drag and drop in windowed mode... settings:

ScreenWidth = 1024
ScreenHeight = 768
ScreenDepth = 16
ScreenFrequency = 75
Cursor = Hardware
FullScreen = 0
Windowed = 1
Borderless = 1

Both monitors are set at 1280 x 1024 resolution 32 bit colour, configured independently from each other

switch Borderless to 0, you get a border and you can move the window.

In my case, just right click on the task in the task bar and select move to other monitor. That effectively gives you what looks like full screen filling up a CRT at the same resolution.
