alblurt06 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If the answer is yes, how? I'm not that much of a fan of full-screen, since I like to multi-task. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Yes. In XP: 1. Start>> Run>> cmd (Brings up a command prompt) 2. Navigate to your MVP Directory (Ex: cd EA SPORTSMVPXX) 3. Type: mvp2005.exe -win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type: mvp2005.exe -win I don't understand what you mean by navigate to the MVP directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alblurt06 Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't understand what you mean by navigate to the MVP directory. Here: Start Menu > Run Type cmd In command prompt; cd C:Program FilesEA SportsMVP Baseball 2005 then mvp2005.exe -win cd basically is the command that tells Windows to navigate. What comes after that is more or less the address where you want command prompt to go. Let me know if this works for you. It should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RdSoxFan618 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was wondering how to do this too . Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RdSoxFan618 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Why did this speed up the game for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Because instead of having to show complex video and gameplay in a full-screen window, it's showing it in a smaller space, thus not using as much power or processing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think there's anyway to fix this or should I continue in full screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It'll keep doing that, make something smaller it has less graphics to render, search the forums, there are a couple of posts on this at least, because I remember doing this myself a while back.

tywiggins Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Because instead of having to show complex video and gameplay in a full-screen window, it's showing it in a smaller space, thus not using as much power or processing time. That's not the reason. When you play a game, the resolution of the window is the same resolution that you use for fullscreen. By the way, the game also plays fast like that in fullscreen mode if I turn "vertical sync" off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookie_rick Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I've been trying to run MVP in a window and i have followed all that has been posted above and it just keeps saying path specified not found or directory name invalid. I am just copying and pasting the actual location so it isn't wrong. I obviously am doing something wrong but i'm not quite sure what. Any help will be much appreciated *Edit* It is all sorted now. I tried it without going into the command prompt and it worked. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEagles Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 A quicker way is to right click your desktop shortcut, and in the target section, after the quotation marks add in -win. Like this: "C:Program FilesEA SportsMVP Baseball 2005mvp2005.exe" -win Everytime you start up the game, it'll be in a window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're having trouble with the cursor, just double click any other window on your desktop. Then you'll be able to see the cursor again.
