Game supports windowed mode by pressing F2 and navigating to the graphics menu, or by pressing F8 and then going back to full screen mode by pressing F5, F6, or F7 (pressing F1 shows a menu of what each hotkey does). However the game only natively supports low res software mode when in its native windowed mode. Use dgVoodoo 2 in order to run the game in a window without having to play in low res software mode.
