I have a game that seems to only have full-screen mode.
Is there any way to open it in window mode?
Also, is there a standard way to get out of full-screen mode?
Because every time I try to pause the game and go back to my regular computer screen, the comp freezes for a while. (and then im left punching random keys till it comes back to life Surprised

)
The only way to do other things is actually exiting the game...
please help!
thanks!

Did you try the escape button? I don't know how to get the window mode, there is usually an indiciation, maybe in the instructions for the game.

Also, don't keep pressing keys, maybe just the escape key, and give it a moment.

I also sometimes press the "windows" key and that helps.,

Tell us the name of the game and the version. Maybe we can troubleshoot that way.

Never punch random keys. If the computer is crashed it won't help. If the system slowed down it has enough to handle already and you can cause it to crash if your program has caused an instability.
