It can be done though, for instance take EverQuest with EQWindows(it was around even before they built it in) and DXWindows(precusor). These both somehow edited the exec memory and made it run in a window instead of fullscreen. IIRC DXWindows set up a hook on the DX calls and just forwarded them, editing the call to start. The problem is I have no real experience with DX at all, so my disasmebling of both programs was to no avail. EQW can be obtained from www.eqwindows.com and DXwindows is a bit tricky.. its on the HackersQuest site but there are no real likes to it. You have to go to the old forums and search for it... then mess with the url because they changed the dir structure.
