Run Sandbox "Windowed"

Post by Emo »

Is it possible to run Sandbox in a Window or "Windowed" mode? I've got a dual screen setup, and would like to run Sandbox on one screen and a tutorial or text doc or webpage...or anything else really...in the other screen. But, as of now, when I run Sandbox, I'm stuck in Sandbox...as in...my mouse will only stay in Sandbox.

Thanks!

you might wanna be careful when running it windowed, the cursor has major wacko problems, I'd recommend (if you have windows) using sandbox fullscreen, and then using the windows button (between Alt and Ctrl) to switch back via the task bar.

You could try hitting "ESC" to free your cursor, then swapping over to your other screen. I dont have two screens so Im not quite sure how you would do it. You could always try prining out the text document. :O You guys just gave me an Idea. Thanks! I'll post it up later.

Just wondering. That would be a major hassle to do it with EVERY post you did.
