It can't resize or maximize. I'm on windows 7 64bit.

I remember programs where fans have made simple directx apps that launched fullscreen-only games in a window. Is there any app or script I can run that might work with this game?

It's likely that a utility that can force the window to be resizeable won't cause the program to stretch its canvas throughout the entire breadth and height of the window. – ultrasawblade Mar 18 '11 at 2:22

Turn down your desktop resolution to a closer match to the window's size.

Perhaps right-click the icon-->Properties-->Compatibility tab and check-mark "Run in 640x480" and see if that suits it.

just a followup, I did try that and the program ran at the same size, but I only saw the bottom right corner of it (about 640x480 pixels of it, but not the rest sadly). I also tried the program "alt-move" and it did resize, but there were some problems that made the game tough to play (hovering over certain areas like the game start button caused the mouse to jump over and seemingly avoid the areas. Fullscreening solved that but then I have to resize). So, not a perfect fix, but it was what I was looking for. – CreeDorofl Mar 18 '11 at 3:11
Did you try lowering your desktop resolution to something smaller, yet larger than 640-x480 (right click the desktop-->Screen Resolution)? – techie007 Mar 18 '11 at 3:14
