Do not notify on task switch

UNNOTIFY

Inhibits the task switch notification message that may hurt some games not designed to handle it properly

No banner

NOBANNER

Well, DxWnd celebrates itself a little by showing a very short splash screen at the beginning. If you're not happy with this, checking this flag will disable the show.

Run in window

WINDOWIZE

Checked by default, tells DxWnd to try to run the program in windowed mode, as that is the essential reason why DxWnd exists. If not checked, DxWnd still performs all other functions not related to the screen size, such as time stretching, compatibility options, and so forth.

Optimize CPU

SAVELOAD

Optimizes the CPU load, but only for DirectDraw operations (DirectX1 to DirectX7).

Ask confirmation on window close

CONFIRMONCLOSE

Asks you for confirmation when you close the window.

Terminate on window close

TERMINATEONCLOSE

Immediately terminates the application when you close the window.

Acquire admin caps

NEEDADMINCAPS

Hooking the game requires running DxWnd as an administrator. If you set this flag and run DxWnd without administrator privileges, running a game from the DxWnd interface will show a dialog box prompting you to elevate the permissions level. When you confirm this, DxWnd will automatically terminate and restart itself. If you don't see its window anymore, look beneath other windows, as it may lose its Z-order when it restarts.

Fullscreen only

FULLSCREENONLY

Forces applications to run in fullscreen mode only.

Show hints

SHOWHINTS

This option activates message boxes that contain information about what DxWnd finds in a program's executable. It can't tell you exactly how to configure that program's hook, but can be helpful in determining which settings you may need to adjust.
