Default Can\'t run in a window

Game Version: Full

Patch Version: 2.12
Operating System: XP Home

Hardware Specific Name: All-in-wonder 9600xt

Driver Specific Name Associated with Hardware: 6.14.10.6451

Specific Issue or Problem:
When I uncheck the "Fullscreen" option in the video options, I see an icon in my task bar for "SDL_app" but I cannot switch to it. The music in the game continues to play.

What can I change to be able to run the game in a window?
Thanks

Do not switch with the app running, but start DOM with the command line option -w .
