    I've tried fiddling around with the game's shortcut's properties on my desktop, but it still runs it full screen. So far I've tried telling it to run minimized or maximized, and adding the -w after the shortcut's path in the Target box. Still running full-screen though.

    Try with the -windowed parameter.

    The solution Edell posted here worked fine for me when I needed it.

    Well, -windowed got it in a window though they're a few kinks in it (the game displays around a quarter of an inch past the window itself, and for some odd reason it's laggier than usual) but hey, at least it works. I'll give that app a try and see if that works any better.
