Hi,

I'm trying to play SWG in windowed mode so I can craft and check vendors while I'm waiting to do stuff on Final Fantasy XI. I got SWG into windowed mode just fine but I cant get my mouse cursor out of out of the SWG window. I tryed to disable the hardware cursor but still wont work. Any tips?

Thanks

Use your windows key, bringing up the startmenu will release it from the window

I use the windows key myself, and I find that selecting "Borderless Window" from the launchpad options helps as well.

I did try that...and nothing would happen. Thanks for the suggestion about the borderless window. I dont like the idea of haveing to press the windows key every time I want to change windows.

Alt-tab will allow you to switch from one active program to another active program. If you are only running SWG, alt-tab will not work. Basicly anything that has a box on the task bar at the bottom should allow you to alt-tab.

Well...nothing helped...borderless window just makes it so I cant move the window around. Seems to be no way I can freely move the mouse between swg and my desktop without pressing the windows key. I guess SoE does not understand the consept of Windowed Mode.

Thanks for what help you gavem
