You can set up Homeworld Cataclysm windowed mode using the ‘-window’ option in the game shortcut. To do this follow the steps below:

1. Right click on your Homeworld Cataclysm shortcut and select properties
2. In the target field add a space then add:
   -window
   (example: C:\Program Files\Sierra\Cataclysm\cataclysm.exe -window).
3. Click apply an start the game from the shortcut.

In some cases you might run into weird/corrupted colours when you try to run the game in windowed mode. The result may look something like this:

To fix this colour bug:

1. Go to the options menu (O key)
2. Go to the video tab (V key)
3. From the list of Rendering systems pick (D3D) Primary display and hit accept (A key).

This should immediately revert the game colours to their proper format and centre the menu properly in your window.
