To play Mechcommander 2 in windowed mode you have two options:
- Edit the configurations
- Open the game directory
- Open
options.cfg
in the root directory with a text editor - After
[MechCommander2]
findb FullScreen
and change it to = FALSE .e.gb FullScreen = FALSE
- Save the file
- Use keybinding to force the game into windowed after it starts
- Start the game
- Once the main menu loads press:
alt+enter
- You will likely have to do this again after starting a mission as that often puts you back in fullscreen automatically
The alt+enter combination works for a wide variety of games especially those made by Microsoft.

I installed 7-zip and I still can’t edit it. How can I edit it with 7-zip, or do you have a better app to use?
options.cfg should be a plaintext file not a zip archive. If you right click and select open with notepad it should open just fine.
